Facilitating Challenging Groups by Nina W Brown

Facilitating Challenging Groups offers activities, tools, tips, and techniques vital to everyone from the smallest self-help group to the largest human-relations training session.

"Nina Brown has targeted three challenging types of groups rarely discussed in professional writings-open, leaderless, single session-and has described the nuances of eachSeldom does a comprehensive and well-researched book also include so many ideas for practice. The guidelines, suggestions, and activities are innovative and can compel readers to (almost) want to face the obstacles these three kinds of groups can present. This volume indeed is a rare find." -Kathleen Y. Ritter, professor of psychology, California State University-Bakersfield "This unique book is beneficial for the new or emerging group leader, with an emphasis on potential pitfalls and the emotional presence of the leader. Specific practical suggestions, such as options for addressing tardiness or resistance, methods of building cohesion, and a wealth of structured activities, are invaluable for building group-facilitation skills and helping leaders learn to tune in to process dynamics." -Rebecca MacNair-Semands, PhD, CGP, senior associate director, Counseling Center, University of North Carolina-Charlotte "Nina Brown provides a useful resource for group leaders dealing with three types of groups that challenge leaders and group members. The book is filled with useful information and resources for those interested in meeting the challenge of working with these groups. The reader is given appropriate background material for each group as well as helpful information on how to facilitate maximum group development." -Rex Stockton, Chancellor's Professor, department of counseling and educational psychology, Indiana University
