Wow, another great book by Corey. This is one of the best text books I have been lucky enough to use while working on my Master's in Social Work. Corey realy gives great examples of how the differnt theories work in group counseling. I really enjoyed the sections on REBT and Cognitive Behavioral counseling. This is a book I will keep long after graduation.

I was fortunate enough to take my group counseling class from Dr. Corey himself at Cal State Fullerton. The experience of learning from and being coached by Dr. Corey was amazing, and allowed even further insight into this text. The formula of the book is easy to follow. Individual theories are covered as well as lessons on the group process itself. A must read for anyone training to be a counselor!
Excellant Group Counseling Book

I am using this book in a graduate level group counseling class. I have found it to be very useful. It gives you an excellant overview of the various theories and how they can be utilized within group counseling. The Corey's have also produced a video tape of a group counseling session that also provides so valuable information.
