Common concerns and topics of self-interest such as identity and sexuality are usually the focus of _____________ psychoeducational groups with adolescents

• A. developmental
• B. non-developmental
• C. remedial
• D. cognitive behavioral

Answer: (A)

Adolescence centers on growth tasks like forming an identity and understanding sexuality, so a developmental psychoeducational group is designed around those stage-specific needs. This type of group provides information, discussion, and skill-building that help teens navigate identity questions and sexual development in a healthy way, aligning with what they’re biologically and psychosocially experiencing during this period. The other options don’t emphasize these stage-related concerns: non-developmental would skip adolescence-specific growth, remedial targets problems or deficits rather than typical maturation, and cognitive-behavioral focuses on thoughts and behaviors rather than directing content to the developmental tasks of adolescence.
