Managing the group monopolist.
This article explores, both theoretically and clinically, the behavior of the habitual group monopolist, an individual who dominates a group in a nontherapeutic manner. It examines clinical data to illustrate various ways a client can monopolize a group and how other group members react to this behavior. The article concludes with some therapist and group interventions that have a significant effect in lessening a group member's monopolistic behavior.
