Lessons are for students who are working and interested in social work.

Underisable behavior.

Exchanging experiences of undesirable behaviour. The main goal is to learn from each other. It is advisable to work in groups.

When forming a group can look at the target group:
- Age.
- Gender.
- Cultural background.
- Nature of the problem, disorder, disability or level.
- Possible other points such as team composition.

What do you think is undesirable behaviour of clients in a residential group.
- Give examples of undesirable behaviour you have experienced.

Possible causes of undesirable behaviour and undesirable situations:
- Group culture and/or group atmosphere between clients.
- Composition of the group [horizontal, vertical, mixed].
- Group size.
- Physical environment.
- The client.
