Question

n individual with mental illness attends group on a regular basis, but interrupts others, grabs tools and supplies and bosses others around at almost every group session. What is the BEST way to respond to this disruptive behavior?

Answer 1

The best way to respond to this disruptive behavior will be to ensure and permit the individual to give his input concerning the group’s discussions.

There should also be strict identification of the rules of the group by the members to the individual so as to ensure he abides by it and appropriate punishment should then be meted out for the failure of the individual to do so.
