Give prospective counsellors a solid foundation for group counselling with a practical, application-based approach

Foundations of Group Counselling offers a broad perspective on group work and balances major issues and essential knowledge with practical guidelines and how-to strategies. Chapters written by expert scholars cover many topics in-depth that are often ignored by comparable books. Separate chapters provide thorough coverage of group work and addictions, group work with children, groups for adolescents, groups with older adults, and facilitating groups with challenging member behaviours. Combining practice, research, and theory, this unique text offers students the tools and strategies they need for successful group work practice.
