Abstrakt: Challenging situations that arise in group counseling are a positive source of therapeutic energy--potentially rich moments that are commonly avoided. Presented are multifaceted ways to observe, understand, and approach challenging situations. Six well-established perspectives from which to view and assess challenges are summarized; (a) member selection, (b) systems theory, (c) group dynamics, (d) individual members' functioning in group, (e) themes implicit within specific members' issues, and (f) leader introspection. These six perspectives are described as ways for group leaders to conceptualize and approach rather than avoid challenging situations in groups. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
