Exercises in Group Work

<<D> While understanding theory and research is vital, future group counselors and therapists must also know how to apply that theory and how to use research findings. This new workbook helps teach just that, through interesting, practical, real-life exercises that involve all of the types of groups a counselor might lead - task/work, psycho-educational, counseling, and psychotherapy. Through its exercises, readers encounter school-age adolescents, mental health outpatients, parents, community members, and others with whom a group worker might work. Prompts and activities encourage them to reflect on class presentations and experiential activities; and help them better absorb the lessons of their core book. Coverage includes how groups work and how to facilitate them, how to put theories into practice and multicultural sensitivity and awareness. For professionals in the field of psychotherapy and group counseling.
