1 GROUP VS FAMILY ASSESSMENT Alexis T Hinton SOCW-6121 Dr. Kalomo December 17th, 2023

2 The family system theory states that external influences, such as a person's place within the system, can have an impact on their performance. Other considerations are the expectations that come with familial connections and the conflicting emotional demands of the roles involved. The video highlights Pam as one of those featured who, upon rejoining the group, discovers that Henry, one of the fresh faces, is the one who nearly ended her life. The video illustrates family dynamics through social integration, cohesiveness, and communication. The goal of the family system theory is to evaluate the patterns of interactions and provide a perspective based on reality's events. Relationships between individuals and how they interact with one another within the family circle are impacted by family dynamics. Group dynamics have a crucial role in fostering a strong sense of unity. Group dynamics involves a variety of principles. The video does a good job of presenting group dynamics. The group as a whole and each individual member are impacted by a number of significant group dynamics. Through employment, the armed forces, education, social groups, sports, and other activities, every member of society is a part of a group (Toseland & Rivas, 2017). Enhancing group cohesion, performance, and communication can be facilitated by acknowledging how groups function and potential issues. These dynamics are influenced by both verbal and nonverbal communication, internal emotions and the thoughts that accompany them. Knowing group dynamics enables one to see how each individual's behaviors make sense given the situation. Several principles are utilized in this situation, such as the perception principle, which emphasizes the group's prestige. This idea clarifies the significance of the group. The notion of perception has been adhered to in the video. The readjustment principle, which argues that member delegation and readjustment are acceptable means of allowing a change in the group norms, is another principle upheld in group dynamics.

3 In order for them to cooperate and adapt, Pam needs to readjust to Henry in this video. It's essential to comprehend the variables that affect group dynamics. Group dynamics are the set of behaviors that occur when members of a group get together and interact (Toseland & Rivas, 2017). There are degrees of familiarity, directness, and connectedness in this particular group dynamic. Because of his integrity, organization, and leadership, Julius helps the group. There was a small deviation from the typical assembling in the complexities of the group because Pam was obviously agitated by Henry's arrival. She claimed that the group had once been a safe haven for her, but because of her bad relationship with Henry, she seemed agitated and upset (Group, 2020). Pam revealed to them that Henry had attempted to take her life. According to Pam (Group, 2020), the group was a "haven, where she felt comfortable and safe". The group members expressed that they had become close to both Pam and Henry, and that even while they preferred Pam to stay, they understood the value of Henry's presence in the group during her absence. By urging everyone to stay and complete the meeting while maintaining composure and reason, Julius was able to unite the entire group (Davies & Coe, 2019). Group therapy differs from family therapy in that during therapeutic group sessions, the group members developed an alliance and offered support to one another. There may have been a lot more security flaws and relationships with family members in the family dynamics. Even with Pam and Henry's disagreement, the group could speak for itself and seemed to really value each other's encouragement. There seem to be some underlying problems in the family that are interfering with their communication..
