Great Groups is a core text which will serve as a foundational text and practical guide to creating and leading groups. It will be grounded in theory but it will have a strong focus on practice and skill development. After a brief introduction to the background, history and theory of group work, the author will walk students through the various phases of group work from beginning stages, leading and ending a group session. The text will follow a hypothetical group from start to finish and each chapter will contain a plethora of examples and reflection exercises.
