  • The authors include a discussion of how diversity influences both the process and outcomes of groups, and new examples from a diversity perspective illustrate key challenges for each of the stages in a group's development.

  • A Critical Incident activity in select chapters provides a clinical context for the material covered in the chapter, and stimulates in-class discussion on how to critically analyze the incident. Each activity describes a situation associated with a stage in the group, raises questions, offers clinical reflections, and provides possible interventions to address the incident. Topics include "Overcorrecting for Fear of Over-identifying" (Ch. 7) and "An Uneventful Termination Session" (Ch. 9).

  • Learning in Action activities can be completed with the entire class, in small groups, and at home. These activities can be done in academic settings, and many are also appropriate to use in clinical settings with group members. Topics include self-assessment of group leadership skills, identifying and exploring common fears among group members, and Googling a classmate (to spark discussion of how a counselor's behavior in the private arena can affect how he or she is perceived professionally).

  • Journal Prompts further the professional and personal development of readers, and may also be used with group members in a clinical setting throughout various stages of a group.

  • Take Time to Reflect sections are designed to encourage students to think about various parts of the content in more depth. They can serve as thought questions for students as they read and as discussion questions for exploration in class or small groups. They are also intended to help students think about the clinical applications of the concepts being discussed.

  • Updated throughout to reflect current research, thinking, and practice, this edition is aligned with the CACREP 2016 Standards for Group Counseling and Group Work. All chapters address specific standards. The authors have also added learning objectives in every chapter, with specific attention given to the standards.

  • The MindTap® online program has been updated with revised self-assessments and activities and new, original videos demonstrating group skills from the book.

  • GROUPS: PROCESS AND PRACTICE covers the group process from the initial to ending stages and includes practice information with specific groups. The text portrays the group counselor as both a person and a professional, addresses skills of group leadership (including the co-leadership model), and discusses the training of group counselors.

  • Cindy Corey's expertise in multicultural counseling lends additional emphasis to this important perspective on the practice of group work.

  • Case examples and dialogues throughout illustrate the group process, interventions, and other important concepts.

  • The text includes 12 group proposals with guidelines to help students design groups specifically for children, adolescents, adults, and older adults in school and community settings.

  • Current trends in ethical, legal, and professional issues, as well as strategies for creating and maintaining trust, provide students with the critical information they need to confront and resolve the questions they will face in practice.

  • Thought-provoking questions, summaries, exercises, and suggested readings involve students and help them master the material.

  • The multimedia self-study program, GROUPS IN ACTION: EVOLUTION AND CHALLENGES, can be used as a video and enrichment resource to accompany the text. GROUPS IN ACTION is available on DVD and online through Cengage Learning's MindTap® program.
