"Drs. Berg, Landreth, and Fall have so improved from their last edition that they now are the creators of the premium textbook for graduate students in professional counseling programs throughout the country. The authors have succeeded in writing a textbook that ranges from group creation to termination, group theory to technique, and from basic to advanced group conceptualization. As a counselor educator, I can't wait to incorporate this textbook into my courses." -- Eric Schmidt, Educational Administration and Psychological Services, Texas State University "Like good group leaders, Drs. Berg, Landreth, and Fall use both their knowledge and their personalities in their presentation of the material. The result is a book that not only informs, but encourages and motivates the reader to continue developing group work skills'¬"whether the reader is a student or an established group leader." '¬" H.
