Social work; Psychotherapy

The experience of the past ten years of group work has shown that practitioners tend to encounter most problems not when considering the theory of how to run groups, but when they are actually in clinical sessions with groups. This new edition of Using Groups to Help People focuses on anticipating and solving problems in group work, including how and when to intevene in a group dealing with 'problem' group members listening to and and observing groups. Reflecting

the changes of the last decade, this up-to-date, comprehensive and practical book will prove valuable to all those involved in group work.

Reviews for Using Groups to Help People

This is a great book for the novice group therapist. The author has been very thorough in examining all aspects of group therapy and then some. Ms. Whitaker states, 'the book is not a how to, but is meant to be practical.' She covers areas from the purpose, the population of the group and the group process....If I had to choose a text for a graduate class of group therapy, this would be it. The author has done a fine job covering all aspects of group therapy. It is most useful for a studetn that has little to no experience with group therapy.. -American Journal of Pastoral Counseling, Vol. 6. No. 2, 2003
