This is one of the most practical and easy to read college texts I’ve encountered. Grounded in theory, chock-full of examples and role playing exercises, this read is straightforward and to the point. I breezed right through it and plan to use it in practice going forward.

I am a counseling student and have read a lot of different counseling strategies books. This one was by far the best I’ve read. It was well written and very good at dividing subjects and making them work together. Great book!

Really enjoyed this resource. I found it straight to the point and helpful both in terms of suggestion and pointing to sources for additional information. The other aspect I enjoyed was the fact that at the end of the book there were suggestions that are specific to group types.

good practical examples, consistently referred back to theory and made me excited for group counseling. but it was be pretty repetitive sometimes, and would often refer to the example videos that were like AN EXTRA HUNDRED BUCKS TO WATCH. man shut up

This text, along with the online scenarios and experience in my internship, gave me a love for group counseling and showed me the benefits of group sessions.
