Synopsis

Drawing on their extensive clinical experience in working with groups, Marianne and Gerald Corey have updated their best-seller with new examples, guidelines, insights, and ideas that demonstrate how group leaders can apply the basic issues and key concepts of the group process to a variety of groups. Offering up-to-date coverage of both the "what is" and the ''how to'' of group counseling, the Sixth Edition features a greater focus on cultural competence, more technological integration, and more case examples and sample dialogues in every chapter.

Review

"An excellent book. . .The examples make concepts come alive and the exercises at the end of each chapter help students make concepts a part of their practice."

"This is an excellent book for helping students develop an understanding of the basic elements of what 'happens' within a group. The examples make the concepts come alive and the exercises at the end of each chapter help students make concepts a part of their practice."

"The text provides a practical approach to working with groups, using an existential orientation. The text focuses on process, facilitator, responsibilities and issues, and member roles as well as stages of group work. It is a good basic overview of group."
