Answer:

Transporting patients to group in a timely manner

Wide functional variability among patients

Exponential documentation in the same amount of time

Step-by-step explanation:

Psychotherapy Association meetings, two highly respected therapists openly discussed the role of iatrogenic conditions in their personal group therapy experience approximately a decade earlier.One of the speakers reported feeling powerless to confront her therapist's excessively domineering behavior; instead, by conforming to it, she permitted herself to be controlled by the group leader. A group is often more than the sum of its parts. At times, however, it may be less than the sum of its parts. Ideally, therapeutic groups develop a work culture under the skillful direction of a leader knowledgeable not only in the areas of psychopathology and psychodiagnostics, but also in group dynamics and interpersonal communication.
