Which is not listed as a contraindication for group involvement?

Being compulsively needy for attention
Having a high level of self-esteem
Being actively psychotic
Being in a crisis

The correct answer is: Having a high level of self-esteem

Having a high level of self-esteem is not listed as a contraindication for group involvement because individuals with a positive self-esteem may actually benefit from the supportive and validating environment of a group. On the other hand, options A, C, and D are all potential contraindications for group involvement. Being compulsively needy for attention may disrupt the dynamics of the group and make it difficult for other members to fully participate and benefit. Being actively psychotic can also hinder group involvement as individuals may have difficulty engaging in group activities or may display behaviors that are disruptive or distressing to other members. Similarly, being in a crisis may require more individualized and intensive support, making group involvement less beneficial at that time. It is important to carefully consider and address these potential contraindications before involving someone in a group setting.
