In mural work within group therapy, who may select the subject matter?

• A. Therapist exclusive
• B. Group members exclusive
• C. Groups or therapist
• D. External consultant

Answer: (C)

In mural work within group therapy, the subject matter is chosen through collaboration between the group and the therapist. This joint approach ensures the topic reflects participants’ lived experiences while being guided by clinical goals, safety, and structure. The group benefits from ownership and relevance, while the therapist provides oversight, boundaries, and therapeutic framing to keep the process productive. If only the therapist selects the theme, group voice and engagement can be diminished; if the group selects topics without professional guidance, clinical objectives and safety considerations may be overlooked; involving an external consultant isn’t typical for standard group therapy mural work.
