Group Roles
The practitioner controls the round, the focal client performs the interpersonal action, and other members participate live. Other group members do not need separate product accounts or product tasks.
Making the Rounds / Go-Around for Gestalt Group Work
Making the Rounds / Go-Around is a live Gestalt group-work tool for practitioners facilitating a focal group member's direct statement or interpersonal action with multiple group members. It helps track member order, progress, contact differences, optional feedback, and grounded awareness that emerges during the round.

Partial Rounds
Stopped, paused, and skipped encounters remain visible because participation differences may be meaningful.
What It Does Not Capture
The tool does not rate group members, rank relationships, diagnose dynamics, or operate as a group management system.
Is this for individual therapy?
No. This configuration is for live group therapy or workshop rounds, not a one-to-one technique except by adaptation outside this product definition.
Can a group member be skipped?
Yes. A skipped encounter should be recorded as skipped rather than completed.
Does every group member give feedback?
No. Feedback capture is optional and only appears when facilitated and enabled.
