An excellent resource for anyone who wants to learn more about group therapy.......2007-04-05
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.
wrong edition.......2006-01-13
i have ordered this book from two different suppliers through amazon and i cannot get it. now i have missed an exam waiting on books even when i contact the sender they claim the book was sent and all amazon wants to do is give your money back i need the book thats it.i feel by allowing other places to co-op with the amazon name you business really seems to be operating more like a large yard sale.
student manual for theory & practice of group counseling.......2005-09-07
very pleased with the quick service.The book was in very good condition
A fantastic text. Full of information, easy to understand........2003-11-29
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!
Excellant Group Counseling Book.......2003-10-30
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.

Book Description
The only book that integrates all important small group topics into a single comprehensive conceptual model, this text pioneered the systems approach for the group communication course. Each chapter begins with a brief preview, followed by a glossary of terms and a real life case study; the chapter text material is followed by several experiential exercises for skill development and two original readings. The new edition has been extensively updated and revised, with new information on virtual teams and streamlined exercises at the end of each chapter.

Stewart Tubbs offers a solid body of research........2000-09-13
Stewart L. Tubbs is arguably the center of the Organizational Management Universe. His keen insight into how small groups interact is a complete compendium of the essence of how small groups behave in the work environment. To Human Resource Managers, this is a foundational reference manual. This text contains the facts behind each of our common experiences as members of the business community. This text confirms our good hunches and refutes our bad habits. This text will show you who in your organization is in need of some direction and who is on the ball with the latest techniques of inspiring the best in your people. I highly recommend this book as a college textbook and as a resource for good, meaningful, solid business practice. Well done Dr. Tubbs!
Book Description
What motives underlie the ways humans interact socially? Are these the same for all societies? Are these part of our nature, or influenced by our environments? Over the last decade, research in experimental economics has emphatically falsified the textbook representation of Homo economicus. Literally hundreds of experiments suggest that people care not only about their own material payoffs, but also about such things as fairness, equity and reciprocity. However, this research left fundamental questions unanswered: Are such social preferences stable components of human nature; or, are they modulated by economic, social and cultural environments? Until now, experimental research could not address this question because virtually all subjects had been university students, and while there are cultural differences among student populations throughout the world, these differences are small compared to the full range of human social and cultural environments. A vast amount of ethnographic and historical research suggests that people's motives are influenced by economic, social, and cultural environments, yet such methods can only yield circumstantial evidence about human motives. Combining ethnographic and experimental approaches to fill this gap, this book breaks new ground in reporting the results of a large cross-cultural study aimed at determining the sources of social (non-selfish) preferences that underlie the diversity of human sociality. The same experiments which provided evidence for social preferences among university students were performed in fifteen small-scale societies exhibiting a wide variety of social, economic and cultural conditions by experienced field researchers who had also done long-term ethnographic field work in these societies. The findings of these experiments demonstrated that no society in which experimental behaviour is consistent with the canonical model of self-interest. Indeed, results showed that the variation in behaviour is far greater than previously thought, and that the differences between societies in market integration and the importance of cooperation explain a substantial portion of this variation, which individual-level economic and demographic variables could not. Finally, the extent to which experimental play mirrors patterns of interaction found in everyday life is traced. The book starts with a succinct but substantive introduction to the use of game theory as an analytical tool and its use in the social sciences for the rigorous testing of hypotheses about fundamental aspects of social behaviour outside artificially constructed laboratories. The results of the fifteen case studies are summarized in a suggestive chapter about the scope of the project.
Book Description
"Territorial functioning" refers to an interlocked system of sentiments, cognitions, and behaviors that are highly place-specific, and socially and culturally determined and maintaining. In this book, Ralph Taylor explores the consequences of human territorial functioning for individuals, small groups, and the ecological systems in which they operate. His exploration is illuminated by his evolutionary perspective, and grounded in empirical studies by social scientists and in theoretical work on the evolution of social and spatial behaviors. He systematically reviews the related research and theory, and indicates the importance of territorial functioning to current social and environmental problems. Contrary to popular wisdom, he argues that territorial functioning is relevant only to limited locations, such as street blocks, and not to neighborhoods or nation states, and that it reduces conflicts and helps maintain settings and groups. His theoretically focused examination of all that has been discovered about human territorial functioning will interest a wide variety of environmental psychologists and designers, urban sociologists, social psychologists, planners, and ethologists, and their students.

Book Description
How is increasing workforce diversity likely to affect productivity? What can be done to remedy negative consequences of "groupthink"? What practical steps can be taken to improve the overall quality of group decisions? Questions associated with current research in small-group productivity and functioning are examined in Group Process and Productivity. Experts drawn from a wide array of disciplines challenge current beliefs about groups and offer practical suggestions for future research. Ways to improve our effectiveness in day-to-day interactions are also suggested. Included for discussion are group productivity, problem identification, group decision making, behavior technology, and group dynamics. Group Process and Productivity is of interest to professionals, researchers, and students in the fields of industrial and organizational psychology, management studies, political science, communication studies, and sociology. "The editors begin the book with a nice, concise history of research on groups ranging from Triplett's classic 19th Century work on social facilitation of others on an individual's task performance up to the diverse trends of the present. . . . Chapters provide extensive reviews of the recent literature on group research. . . . [They offer] a number of tantalizing threads to ponder for future research and theory building. . . . Industrial/organizational psychologists and management theorists can thus consider a rich assortment of findings and theoretical tangents to pursue." --Personnel Psychology "Both researchers and practitioners will benefit from this work. researchers will find a number of intriguing theories and methodologies to help advance their own work. . . . This is a scholarly book and requires careful reading. The payoff for the effort, however, makes the book an important contribution to the understanding of group processes." --Journal of Psychology and Christianity
Book Description
Groups in Context is a well balanced blend of theory and applications that gives students abundant real life examples to help them apply principles to actual group situations. The text reflects the author's belief that small group communication is best understood in context- whether in the workplace, in neighborhoods, in churches, social groups, or civic organizations. Examples from a variety of contexts abound.
Book Description
Designed for courses involving Small Group Communication discussions, the acclaimed IN MIXED COMPANY thoroughly addresses the theme of communication in small groups. The author has preserved the essence that made previous editions so popular and has expanded the central unifying theme that says cooperation in small groups is usually superior to competition. The communication competence model continues to guide discussions of key small group concepts and processes. Systems theory also remains as a key theoretical component of the text and finally, an extensive discussion and analysis of power in small groups continues to separate IN MIXED COMPANY from other textbooks.
