Groups: Process and Practice

In this practical manual, the Coreys draw on their extensive clinical experience in leading groups and training group leaders to provide a hands-on resource full of examples, guidelines, perceptions, insights, and ideas on both the UUhow toUU and the UUwhyUU of group counseling. Well known for a down-to-earth, personal writing style and clear, straightforward presentation of basic issues and processes, this book and Corey's Theory & Practice of Group Counseling were rated the two most widely used group texts in a survey conducted by Sampson and Liberty in the December 1989 issue of Counselor Education & Supervision...Included in discussion are: practical strategies that can help create and maintain trust in groups; ways to deal therapeutically with the many forms of resistance leaders encounter; strategies for helping group members translate what they learn in groups to their everyday lives; ethical issues and problems that can arise in group work. The final section describes actual group sessions in a wide variety of specialized groups, including groups for children of divorce, for women with a history of incest, and combined groups for adolescents and the elderly..
