Description
This course is designed as an introduction to the use of groups in counseling practice. Its chief purpose is to help students become more effective group leaders, whether leading a therapy or a training group, and to be able to influence the process of groups in which they are members. To this end, students will participate on several levels of involvement: (1) Principles, theories, concepts, and techniques of group leadership will be investigated; (2) Group dynamics will be discussed and observed in external groups and in the class interaction; (3) Students will lead a group session with a co-leader; (4) Students will be group members and will be asked to self-disclose and give feed-back to other group members in as genuine a manner as possible. (This course is for Mental Health Counseling majors only. All other students must obtain permission from the (Dean's Office) can it say WSAS Office of Graduate Studies.)
