A therapy group adds new members as others leave. What type of group is evident?

a. Open
b. Closed
c. Homogeneous
d. Heterogeneous


ANS: A
An open group is a group that adds members throughout the life of the group as other members leave and as more persons who would benefit from the group become available. A closed group does not add new members; the membership is established at the beginning and, except for the occasional losses as some members leave, does not change thereafter. A homogeneous group includes members who are similar, and a heterogeneous group includes dissimilar members; not enough data are provided here to determine which applies in this case.
