Exercise 2

Changing Membership in Open Groups. Assume that you are leading a group with a changing membership. Although there is a core of members who attend consistently, clients eventually terminate, and new members join the group. What obstacles will the members have to deal with if this group is to reach a working stage? How would you work to increase cohesion in this type of group? How would you handle the reality of members' terminating and new members' assimilating into the group?
