This volume concentrates on teaching group dynamics with an
experiential, process focus. The procedure for instruction seeks to
provide an integration of cognitive and affective components in
learning how to tune into, and effectively use, group dynamics.
Instructors and supervisors are provided with specific techniques
for helping students understand manifestations of resistance,
countertransference issues, assuming a process orientation, and
dealing with both individual and group-as-a-whole concerns.
Immensely practical and classroom tested.

the roles that group members assume and the impact these roles may
have on the progress and functioning of the group. Chapter 8 deals

conflict in the group. Chapter 9 provides an introduction to the
