Reviews

"""Group Counseling: Concepts and Procedures is my go-to group counseling text. I’ve used it as a core text in my master’s group counseling course for several years. It is an accessible text that my students actually enjoy reading and provides a great balance of important theoretical concepts with practical strategies. The authors write with humor and empathy, which helps the students relate to the material quite easily."" George McMahon, PhD, clinical associate professor and department head, Department of Counseling and Human Development Services, University of Georgia ""This book emphasizes the skills necessary for effective group leadership and contains a wealth of information for beginning group workers. It is an up-to-date effort to broaden the needed discussion on diversity and social justice in group work. The expanded chapter on co-leadership is welcome and informative, especially for students who may find themselves in co-leadership situations. I particularly appreciate the practical and clear examples the authors provide for both beginning and advanced group workers."" Delini M. Fernando, PhD, LPC-S, NCC, associate professor, Department of Educational Psychology, University of Oklahoma"
