Group Counseling: Concepts And Procedures

by Robert C. Berg

The fourth edition of this well-respected text, first published in 1979, is a timely and thorough revision of the existing material. Group Counseling has done well over the years, due in large part to its comprehensive history of group work as a counseling specialty, the practical nature of the authors' explanations, the diversity of sources the authors draw upon, and the international acclaim of Dr. Landreth's work on play and filial therapy. This text will provide both novice and experienced counselors with a framework from which to expand their group counseling skills and knowledge.

[Anna Christie]

This text was very helpful for me during my group counseling course. The chapters were clear and concise and the specific examples of group dialogue were great additions to the chapter content.

Dr. Kevin Fall, one of the authors of this text, was my graduate professor in my group counseling course. Facilitating and participating in group therapy is not "my thing," but I will say that Dr. Fall was able to instill in me the realization that this type of therapy can be extrordinarily useful/healing for many individuals. I have mad respect for group therapy and for this text as a guiding force in the facilitation of such therapy.
