Product Description
In this exciting video with accompanying workbook (designed for student purchase as an interactive tool), students will see Marianne and Jerry Corey in action as they demonstrate their integrative approach to group work. As the two-hour video unfolds, viewers will see a real group—not actors role-playing—move through its various stages and will observe group members discuss real issues and present reactions in the group context. The accompanying student workbook provides exercises and explorations that link the video to the Coreys' best selling group books: GROUPS: PROCESS AND PRACTICE, GROUP TECHNIQUES, and THEORY AND PRACTICE OF GROUP COUNSELING (both the textbook and the Student Manual). This compelling video was filmed at a three-day intensive group and shows the unfolding of a live group as they build "a circle of trust." The video highlights the development of the group process by showing segments of the group work that occurred over the three-day session. Throughout the video, the Coreys demonstrate a wide variety of techniques and skills, including: how to deal with members' hesitation and resistance, their feelings of not being "good" enough, their fears of being judged, their difficulties with intimate relationships, and their unresolved issues with parents. In addition, the Coreys demonstrate how to recognize and work with interpersonal group conflict and how to "link" members and get them to work effectively with one another.

I didn't realize that this book required a CD, which was not included in my purchase. Do not order this book if it does not have the CD included; it's worthless.

Excellant Video by J. O. Boyle (Rutherfordton, NC United States)

A portion of this video was shown in my group counseling class. I opted to watch the entire video and I am very glad I did. It gives you good examples of the dynamics that can occur in a group counseling session. You get to watch a group evolve over a 2-3 day period. I found it to be very helpful and think anyone, who has not experienced a group counseling session first hand, should watch it. The video was edited down so it would only be about 2 hours. I would have liked to have seen a little more of the work done with each individual. The workbook covers it, but a picture is definitely worth a 1000 words. I think that would have made the video even more valuable.

Highly recommended by Michael Reina (San Diego, CA United States)

While using this video and workbook to train new group psychotherapists, I found the Corey's material to be one of the best available. My students were moved by the authenticity and genuineness of the actual work being done by the participants. This is in contrast to other training videos which use students doing role plays, and tend to be stilted in dialogue and boring in content. The workbook adds relevant exercises and commentary, which though tedious to complete, serve to give the students new perspectives and insight on the ways to be more effective when in the role of psychotherapist. Highly recommended.

great video, fair workbook

I had to order this and was not looking forward to it--the video is very well done and believable. The facilitators (Corey's) are wonderful and their style helpful. The workbook is easy enough to complete, it is at times, monotonous and redundant. It is very easy to follow as they use number cues to stop/start. If you have never been in a therapy group you need to see this as it is very accurate.
