Marianne and Gerald Corey have written a well-organized text. The information was provided in a logical order and in an easy-to-read format. It covers group process as well as basic practical advice for the group leader - how to form a group, screen clients, where to meet, how long the meetings should last, etc. The group therapy taught in its pages is based on a thinking, feeling, and behaving model that can be integrated into group practice with other theoretical orientations.

This book was used in a masters counseling class on groups, and half our class was based on our own experiential group. The sections on the different stages of a group were particularly pertinent as it mimicked our experience. My only complaint with this text is that in the final four chapters, there were perhaps too many group proposals. I tired of reading all of them but that could have been end-of-semester inertia.

Easy to read and follow. A great resource for learning the first time or needing a refresher

...I'll definitely use this book as a resource reference when I facilitate groups in social work practice, especially the sections on how to lead particular groups (youth, elderly, substance abusers, etc.). I've already bookmarked these sections in this text.
The reason why I didn't read this book was because our professor gave us so many silly assignments during class and for homework, besides the fact that our professor did not lecture from it anyway, so it would not have been a good use of my pressed semester time, but from what I glanced at, GROUPS: PROCESS AND PRACTICE is a good, solid book!

The professor of this course had us read this textbook in conjunction with another while also participating in group counseling.
I found that our group very much mirrored the stages presented in the textbook and gave a vocabulary to what I was experiencing while in group. Corey and Corey have many insights that will improve your ability to understand and eventually (after a lot of practice) lead a group.

I give the textbook a five out of five for its easy-to-understand layout, carefully constructed chapters, and most importantly, its ability to help me understand group counseling.

This book has been fine for my purpose of using in class. I would not recommend buying this book because it is getting too out of date.

I was so pleased to find this book and in such excellent condition. However, I have never liked the shipping fees through amazon, I feel they could improve that for all of us. This book arrived in excellent condition in a timely matter. I would order again especially if I had a discount for shipping.

The book was great and helped me understand the porcess but my professor was also great. Great professor and great book=knowledge!!!!!!!!!

This book is a must in the field of counseling. Clear, thorough, and concise. Also, Amazon shipped so quickly I had it before many in my class who had ordered from different vendors.

the book came as stated and I am happy with the shipping time. thanks!

Textbook came faster than I thought it would. It was in the condition described, and I am very satisfied with it.Would definitely do business again!
