What does this book cover?  

The Personal Development Group: The Student’s Guide is a detailed exploration of the personal development group, and how to use it more effectively in the context of psychotherapy and counselling training. It explores group processes, but never looses sight of the experiences and perspective of the individual members.

The Personal Development Group’s high points include:

• An exploration of the relationship between individuals and the group as a whole, and with society generally
• Exercises and real-world examples outlining the group processes students will encounter
• A case study of a PD group as it passes through all of its normal stages
