Drawing on their extensive clinical experience in working with groups, Marianne and Gerald Corey provide a realistic approach to the blending of theory with practice in group work.

Offering up-to-date coverage of both the "what is" and the 'how to' of group counseling, the Seventh Edition features a greater focus on group work with children, the elderly, issues in both women's and men's groups and in school settings.

Definitely a keeper! - This text book is one that is a must for anyone wishing to start a therapy group. It was used in an undergraduate level social work class, but could have easily been used in the master's level. I sold most of my college books, but I did not sell this one.
this book gives varied information for many different types of groups that can be formed. As a college student it was helpful, but I also used the information for a women's Bible study group that I lead. Invaluable information. Definitely buy this book!

Organized, thorough textbook for group therapy -
Marianne and Gerald Corey have written a well-organized text. The information was provided in a logical order and in an easy-to-read format. It covers group process as well as basic practical advice for the group leader - how to form a group, screen clients, where to meet, how long the meetings should last, etc. The group therapy taught in its pages is based on a thinking, feeling, and behaving model that can be integrated into group practice with other theoretical orientations.
This book was used in a masters counseling class on groups, and half our class was based on our own experiential group. The sections on the different stages of a group were particularly pertinent as it mimicked our experience. My only complaint with this text is that in the final four chapters, there were perhaps too many group proposals. I tired of reading all of them but that could have been end-of-semester inertia.
