Volume 3 of a series: Getting Back to Basic Values: More Plans for Helping contains plans and ideas to use in personal growth and development, teaching and counseling, and helping yourself and others. The series is an update of some material published in the early 1970's with newly developed and different materials from and about today. These plans can be applied over and over to personal growth and family decision-making and can be used in therapeutic work with groups and individuals. Teachers will also find these applicable to classroom work and discussions or lessons with students. This series will contain several plan book volumes and a foundations volume containing basic fundamentals and concepts supporting this theoretical work.
