Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Before discovering this book, I attended a group therapy training workshop with the author, using an e-copy of the textbook as reference. I was blown away by the quality of the book that I just had to order hardcopies for my workplace and myself. To give context, I am a penny-pinching book snob who will avoid buying books if possible, and would only do so under extenuating circumstances. I am also a practicing psychologist and to date, I have found this book to be the most comprehensive, yet easy-to-read book on group counseling and psychotherapy, at both theoretical AND practical levels. I strongly recommend this textbook for anyone interested in informing or reinforcing their group therapy knowledge.

The premise of this book is that group counseling is not individual counseling; and what works for the former likely won't work for the latter. It's a fresh new introduction to the principles, theories and procedures of group counseling and therapy. It's written to show how group work really works, and ensures readers an understanding of how to create and maintain a group environment that actually succeeds in helping its members achieve significant growth and change.
