Great Groups is a practical and inspirational guide that serves as a foundational text to creating and leading groups.  Designed primarily for the beginning group worker from any of the helping professions, the book also acts as a valuable resource for those with more group experience.  Grounded in theory, but with a strong focus on practice and skill development, author David R. Hutchinson strives to connect directly with the reader with his personal and engaging writing style and "learn by doing" approach.  The Following a hypothetical group from start to finish, with a plethora of examples and reflection exercises in each chapter, the book has a threefold purpose:     to provide the reader with specific tools for creating, understanding, and leading effective groups; to help the reader consider the application of theory to practice; and to spur the reader to seriously consider making group work a cornerstone of his or her professional practice. KEY FEATURES: Students will actually enjoy reading this book. The author uses his years of experience, including his mistakes, as the foundation for his communication with readers and instructors.   Illustrations help make this book even more accessible.  The importance and use of theory is clearly articulated and shows students who are often bored or put off by theory how to use it in a way that makes sense. This book prepares new group workers for difficult, challenging groups by reviewing a number of specialized groups.    A wealth of practice activities for the instructor including reflection exercises, group lab practice activities, and questions for "further thought."
