A group is in the working phase, and one member has a history of being left alone as a 4- and 5-year-old when his parents worked or drank
His parents also belittled him and criticized him mercilessly; nothing he did was ever right or good in their eyes. Which comment would the group leader expect to be made by 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 just so much going on, and I can't remember what I already said.".
c. "You could be right, maybe that would help, or at least it wouldn't hurt to give it a try next time.".
d. "This group is stupid; nobody here can help anybody else because we are all so messed up. It's a waste.".
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.
