For students without previous exposure to the study of group dynamics. It begins with an introduction to the history, dynamics, diversity, leadership, ethics, and development that are part of the lives of groups. It then presents an extensive discussion of the issues and procedures for working with groups throughout the lifecycle. Finally, it discusses the evolution, practice, and outcomes of 11 prominent theoretical ways of conducting groups. The text's pragmatic approach, numerous case examples, and exercises are particularly valuable in helping students translate theory into application.
