Answer 1

Explanation:

A team or a group takes time to perform and cooperate well, it does not do so from the time it is formed. The members of the group work together helping and supporting each other to achieve the common goal.

Researcher, Bruce Tuckman layed down five stages of group development process. They are:

• Forming stage or  orientation.
• Storming Stage or  power struggle.
• Norming Stage or  Cooperation and Integration
• Performing Stage or  Synergy
• Adjourning Stage or closure

The main focus during the working phase of the group therapy is to  encourage and teach problem solving skills to facilitate  behavioral changes.
