Coleadership is also referred to as what?

• A. Cofacilitation
• B. Cooperation facilitation
• C. Joint therapy
• D. Parallel leadership

Answer: (A)

The idea being tested is that coleadership in group work is commonly called cofacilitation. When two leaders share responsibility for guiding a group, planning, and managing dynamics, they are facilitating together—that shared enabling is captured by the term cofacilitation. It emphasizes two people actively guiding the group process as a unit.

This term is preferred because it directly describes the act of facilitating with a partner, which aligns with the notion of two leaders sharing roles and influence. Other phrases like parallel leadership imply two leaders operating separately rather than collaboratively within the same group; joint therapy is a broader clinical term not specific to the group process; and cooperation facilitation isn’t the standard terminology used in most counseling and group work contexts.
