Clients that should never be assigned to the same group include all of the following EXCEPT:

  1. Abuse perpetrators and victims

  2. Neighbors and relatives

  3. Schizophrenia and antisocial disordered

  4. Opioid and amphetamine abusers

The correct answer is: Opioid and amphetamine abusers

The option regarding opioid and amphetamine abusers suggests that these two groups of clients can be safely assigned to the same group. This is primarily because both groups share a common issue related to substance use disorder, and they may benefit from discussing their experiences in a supportive environment focused on recovery. Group sessions that include individuals with different substance-related challenges can provide a broader perspective and foster understanding among participants, highlighting shared struggles as well as different coping mechanisms. In contrast, the other options involve situations where there are significant risks to the safety and well-being of clients. Pairing abuse perpetrators with victims can exacerbate trauma and victimization. Similarly, neighbors and relatives may have personal dynamics that could lead to conflicts or discomfort in a group setting. Lastly, clients with schizophrenia and antisocial personality disorder may have differing therapeutic needs and could potentially disrupt the group dynamic due to their unique challenges. Thus, the grouping of opioid and amphetamine abusers is viewed as a more appropriate and potentially beneficial combination, making this option the exception.
