Group Techniques by Gerald Corey

by Gerald Corey

Far more than a recipe book of techniques that readers can pull out at the right time, this book encourages readers not only to use techniques sensitively and creatively in their own groups, but also to go one step further to invent their own techniques. The authors draw on their combined experiences as teachers, as consultants to mental-health professionals, and as private practitioners to provide readers with a realistic approach to group work. Emphasizing that techniques are means, not ends, the book is designed to enhance the group leader's ability to generate a therapeutic and human rapport between leader and members. Types of techniques presented in the book include creating trust, dealing with resistance, starting a session, working with dreams, working with intense emotions, and ending a session.

It's a helpful book on techniques and tools for faciliating groups but it is DRY. Don't try and read it at night because it comes with a gaurantee to put you to sleep. But it is a good tool for individuals who lead groups of any kind.

A well written guide to group work.

Really useful book. If it were not a textbook, it would be more affordable and I would purchase my own copy. $50 for a used copy of a book only 1/4 inch thick?!
