Review Quote "It is a must for anyone who teaches psychotherapy to the next generation of clinicians. That includes clinicians who do not intend to practice group therapy but who will be involved in group supervision, refer to groups, work on teams, teach classes, or be active in professional organizations. It may be more accurate to say that this book is a must for anyone who earns a degree in psychology because all of us, intentionally or not, will work with groups in some way." -- PsycCRITIQUES "A great balance of information, clear detail, strong theory, and first-hand experience. Marvelous." -- Donelson R. Forsyth, PhD, University of Richmond, author of Group Dynamics, Sixth Edition "I was greatly impressed by this book and its comprehensiveness and scholarly nature. I would use this book, probably in advanced group work courses. By then, I hope, students woudl have come to appreciate the precepts, history, and scope of social work with groups and would be able to use this work to expand their horizons." --Charles Garvin, Social Work with Groups Details ISBN0195388550 Language English Year 2013 ISBN-10 0195388550 ISBN-13 9780195388558 Format Paperback Short Title SPECIALTY COMPETENCIES IN GROU Media Book Pages 326 Series Specialty Competencies in Professional Psychology Illustrations Yes UK Release Date 2013-04-25 Imprint Oxford University Press Inc Place of Publication New York Country of Publication United States AU Release Date 2013-04-25 NZ Release Date 2013-04-25 US Release Date 2013-04-25 Author Sally Barlow Publisher Oxford University Press Inc Publication Date 2013-04-25 DEWEY 616.89152 Audience Professional & Vocational We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
