I was fortunate enough to take my group counseling class from Dr. Corey himself at Cal State Fullerton. The experience of learning from and being coached by Dr. Corey was amazing, and allowed even further insight into this text. The formula of the book is easy to follow. Individual theories are covered as well as lessons on the group process itself. A must read for anyone training to be a counselor!

I am using this book in a graduate level group counseling class. I have found it to be very useful. It gives you an excellant overview of the various theories and how they can be utilized within group counseling. The Corey's have also produced a video tape of a group counseling session that also provides so valuable information.

Gerald Corey, Professor Emeritus at Cal State Fullerton University, has written extensively on the field of psychology. In Theory and Practice of Group Counseling, Dr. Corey manages to fit in and illucidate on the most important psychological paradigms and techniques in use in the field today and their application to the group setting.
Theory and Practice of Group Counseling gives the reader a concise understanding of each paradigm and accompanying techniques so that the even a novice will understand how various theoretical constructs and applications can transfer to the group setting.
If you are involved in a therapy group or would like to be, Dr. Corey's book will help you to become acclimated and by the time you finish it you will have a good understanding of all the options that are available to you on the market today for group therapy. It would also be a perfect first step in becoming comfortable with the group process.

Wow, another great book by Corey. This is one of the best text books I have been lucky enough to use while working on my Master's in Social Work. Corey realy gives great examples of how the differnt theories work in group counseling. I really enjoyed the sections on REBT and Cognitive Behavioral counseling. This is a book I will keep long after graduation.
