Groups Process and Practice 10th Edition by Marianne Schneider Corey, Gerald Corey & Cindy Corey (2016)

Groups: Process and Practice, 10th Edition (2016) by Marianne Schneider Corey, Gerald Corey, and Cindy Corey is one of the most widely adopted texts on group counseling in the field. Published by Cengage Learning, this authoritative resource teaches students to blend theory with practice in group work using up-to-date examples, practical guidelines, seasoned clinical insights, and an enhanced diversity perspective.

Focusing on the "what is" and the "how to" of group counseling, the authors show how group leaders can apply the key concepts of the group process to a wide variety of group types. Students receive practical guidance on working with groups of children, adolescents, and adults in both school and community settings. New activities encourage active learning, enabling students to see clinical applications come to life in the content being covered.
