Your Extra Credit Assignment

Attend one of the following before the end of the semester:

1/ An Alcolohics Anonymous meeting, or

2/ A Laughing Club meeting at the Cuyahoga Falls Library

For either choice, write a journal article of your visit, describing what happened while you were there (at least one page). What was the purpose of the meeting? Who else was there (in general...no names)? What was done at the meeting? Who led the meeting (I don't need his/her name, just whether there was a leader)? From your perspective, was the meeting successful? Were you eventually comfortable at the meeting? Any other thoughts?

If you visit an AA meeting, go to the web site below to select a meeting. Remember, some are open, some are closed to the public. Go only to an open meeting.

Meeting locations

For the Laughing Club:

Cuyahoga Falls Public Library
Saturdays 10:00AM
2015 Third Street Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio 44221
Questions? Call Carol Bailey-Floyd at 330-836-4456

Group meetings like the AA form of meeting is an example of Psychodynamic therapy.

Laughter as a healthy response we make to our lives is something we have discussed earlier this semester.

You may substitute a meeting with another related local organization, if you wish. Prior approval is required.   Assignment is due at the final exam.

Good luck and enjoy your assignment.
