It's a comprehensive look at groups, covering the history of group work, the dynamics of groups, leadership in groups, ethical issues in groups, stages of group development, groups across the life span, and the theoretical basis for working with groups. The coverage is current, the style is clear and interesting, and the text challenges you to reflect on what you've learned, as well as on your own experiences in groups.
