Groups have the power to help, heal, direct, and support. Groups: A Counseling Specialty will help you develop the knowledge and skills needed to lead effective groups. It is a comprehensive exploration of the history of group work along with group dynamics, leadership, ethical issues, stages of group development, groups across the life span, and the theoretical basis for working with groups.

Updated with the latest research, the 9th Edition modifies, revises, or replaces all brief cases and in-body group scenario examples. New and updated references are incorporated throughout; group theories chapters are reorganized based on similarities among theoretical approaches, and much more.
