�This book is a well presented, comprehensive textbook on group
counseling practices, ethics, techniques, and theoretical
application.�
�This is an effective group counseling textbook that breaks down
group counseling from the crucial components of leadership, ethics,
stages, skills, and techniques and then enhances it with
application to different populations and integration of group
counseling theories.�
�This is an excellent textbook that provides both a beginning and
advanced understanding of the theories and practices of group
counseling. It includes a thorough, yet concise review of the basic
group process and practice. It provides a clear understanding of
the theoretical underpinnings of key assumptions and techniques of
each theory and illustrates their application to groups in action.
I recommend this book to all students and professionals with the
goal of enhancing their theoretical application to their practice
of therapeutic groups.�
�This is the best book on the market for use in teaching a Group
Counseling Class. It is very readable and my students enjoy it very
much. I find the integrative emphasis to be valuable for future
counselors. The sections on school counseling, multicultural
issues, and the balance between theory and practice make this a
thorough, well-rounded textbook.�
