Social Tone
Leader: Let's begin (Members remain spread out and continue eating) I'd like to start by having you tell a little bit about who you are. Tell anything that you think is important or anything you'd like.
Confrontive Tone
It is the first session of a group of teenagers who have been caught using drugs. Joe has been talking about how he does not think he has any problem with drugs.
Leader: Joe, it is clear that you have a serious problem! In this group we can help each other by making sure that people are honest with themselves. (In a rather confrontive voice) How many of you feel that Joe has a problem?
