Creating groups

Description:

Thoroughly revised, enlarged, and redesigned, the long-awaited second edition of Harvey J. Bertcher and Frank F. Maple's Creating Groups presents useful guidelines for effectively composing new groups and modifying existing ones. It provides techniques and exercises based on the most recent group therapy research to help develop groups that can meet a variety of personal, organizational, and community goals. This new, expanded edition includes all steps that go into the creation of a group, from the idea of starting a group to planning for and conducting a first meeting. In addition, this practical volume has been updated to address factors of race and gender in groups and the empowerment of potential members in the group composition process.
