Files
Description
This book is different from most group work books in its emphasis on practical skill building and experiential learning. In this book, students and practitioners will find dozens of exercises that build practicetested skills related to important aspects of group work practice. A benefit of this experiential, skillbased approach is that it meshes with the competencybased approach, which will likely become the standard for accreditation over the next several years.
