Paper Summary:

The following paper discusses different types of groups, dimensions of groups, the evolution of the groups, structural aspects of groups, and behavioral aspects with reference to the writer's experience of working in a group of intensive case managers who needed to stay in contact with one another on a regular basis and have frequent team meetings.

From the Paper:

"Instrumental versus expressive are the first dimensions discussed within the textbook in applying to a group setting. Instrumental would be described as a group meeting organized in order to achieve a specific purpose or goal, while expressive group organization holds attributes that focus much more on the individuals involved within the group. Expressive group is described as nonspecific with the general result of integration of components."
