Drawing on their extensive clinical experience in working with groups, Marianne and Gerald Corey provide a realistic approach to the blending of theory with practice in group work. This best-selling text has been updated with new examples, guidelines, insights, and ideas that demonstrate how group leaders can apply the basic issues and key concepts of the group process to a variety of groups. Offering up-to-date coverage of both the "what is" and the 'how to' of group counseling, the Seventh Edition features a greater focus on group work with children, the elderly, issues in both women's and men's groups and in school settings.

Summary: Didn't read it but...
Comment: ...I'll definitely use this book as a resource reference when I facilitate groups in social work practice, especially the sections on how to lead particular groups (youth, elderly, substance abusers, etc.). I've already bookmarked these sections in this text.
The reason why I didn't read this book was because our professor gave us so many silly assignments during class and for homework, besides the fact that our professor did not lecture from it anyway, so it would not have been a good use of my pressed semester time, but from what I glanced at, GROUPS: PROCESS AND PRACTICE is a good, solid book!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Definitely a keeper!
Comment: This text book is one that is a must for anyone wishing to start a therapy group. It was used in an undergraduate level social work class, but could have easily been used in the master's level. I sold most of my college books, but I did not sell this one.
this book gives varied information for many different types of groups that can be formed. As a college student it was helpful, but I also used the information for a women's Bible study group that I lead. Invaluable information. Definitely buy this book!

Summary: group process text

Summary: Organized, thorough textbook for group therapy
Comment:
Marianne and Gerald Corey have written a well-organized text. The information was provided in a logical order and in an easy-to-read format. It covers group process as well as basic practical advice for the group leader - how to form a group, screen clients, where to meet, how long the meetings should last, etc. The group therapy taught in its pages is based on a thinking, feeling, and behaving model that can be integrated into group practice with other theoretical orientations.
This book was used in a masters counseling class on groups, and half our class was based on our own experiential group. The sections on the different stages of a group were particularly pertinent as it mimicked our experience. My only complaint with this text is that in the final four chapters, there were perhaps too many group proposals. I tired of reading all of them but that could have been end-of-semester inertia.
