| Summary |
"Becoming a Group Leader emphasizes developing the group leader's self-acceptance and self-understanding as a critical component of leading successful group counseling sessions. It integrates theory and practice so that group leaders learn not only the methods, models, and philosophies surrounding successful group counseling but also how to apply these lessons through specific strategies for planning and facilitating unique types of clinical and nonclinical groups. Unlike other texts that might focus on skill development over concept and theory, this book asserts that understanding the ideas behind group dynamics and counseling is vital in applying them in real-life situations."--BOOK JACKET |
