Group counseling is a dynamic and valuable treatment device used by
therapists throughout the psychological disciplines, one that has
proven effective in promoting change and growth in a variety of
populations and settings. The Oxford Handbook of Group Counseling
takes an innovative approach to this expansive topic, providing
both a comprehensive field manual for practitioners and an
authoritative reference work for teachers and researchers.
Comprising 31 topic-based chapters by leading practitioners and
researchers, this handbook covers the full spectrum of current and
relevant topics in group counseling, including:
- definitions and background
- history and efficacy
- key change processes (e.g., therapeutic factors, group cohesion,
group climate)
- group leader strategies and characteristics
- new applications for group counseling strategies, including
online groups
- group counseling with special populations
- the future of group counseling
With roots in the most recent and relevant literature, The Oxford
Handbook of Group Counseling is an ideal text for training programs
(counselor education, clinical psychology, social work, or human
services) or as a reference for researchers in counseling
psychology. Whoever the reader, it a valuable and comprehensive
guidebook for both students and practitioners in the growing
practice of group counseling.
