An emphasis of community meetings is on democratic aspects of unit life.

Making assignments and sharing are only some of the issues addressed in a community meeting. Privilege eligibility would not be discussed in a community meeting.

| c. | “How does everyone else feel about discussing this topic?” |
| d. | “Perhaps you should leave the meeting until you are in better control.” |
ANS: B
Individual problems are not dealt with in community meetings. It is suggested to patients that individual issues be discussed with one’s therapist. The focus of community meetings is on matters of general concern to the group at large. When the patient is informed of when and where to address the individual problem, it should be done in a nonpunitive manner.
