A group begins the working phase. One member has a childhood history of neglect and ridicule by parents. Which comment would the group leader expect from this member?
a. "My boss is always expecting more of me than the others, but talking to him would only make it worse."
b. "I'm sorry for talking all the time, but there is so much going on in my life. I can't remember what I already said."
c. "Thanks for the suggestions everyone. Maybe some of them will help. It won't hurt to give them a try."
d. "This group is stupid. Nobody here can help anybody else because we are all so confused. It's a waste."
ANS: A
People who frequently complain, yet reject help or suggestions when offered, tend to have histories of severe deprivation as children, often accompanied by neglect or abuse. The other comments reflect dynamics other than the help-rejecting complainer, such as the monopolizer who apologizes for talking too much, the person who is insightful and agrees to try a peer's suggestion, and the demoralizing member.
