The Coreys demonstrate a wide variety of group techniques and skills, including how to deal with members' feelings of not being "good enough," their fears of being judged, and their difficulties with intimate relationships. The real participants - not actors - present reactions in the group context; CHALLENGES FACING GROUP LEADERS - Covering themes suggested by the Coreys' work with students and by their colleagues, this 90 minute portion of the DVD emphasizes the initial and transition stages of a group's development - the stages which tend to create the most anxiety and concern for group practitioners. By watching this program, you will explore diversity issues in group work, discovering ways of reframing resistance and find examples of how to work therapeutically with defensive behaviors. The Coreys did not create a script; group members improvised around a series of situations; WORKBOOK - The workbook utilizes an interactive format, engages your active learning skills as you study the group in action. It includes exercises that correlate directly with each segment of the DVD as well as self-assessments and self-inventories; skills checklists; the Coreys' commentary; questions for application, discussion, and reflection; references to the Coreys' group counseling text; and more.--Cover ER -
