Groups: A Counseling Specialty PDF
Gladding's book is perhaps the most comprehensive group text out there. Compared to some others, he cites from a wide variety of perspectives and does not ignore groups which are not primarily therapeutic, delving into group dynamics and other foundational issues. I doesn't matter if you are a counselor, psychologist or social worker, this is a good springboard to understanding the field.By Mark E. Young
I placed this order for a BRAND NEW book.. and paid the money's worth. I got this book with pen marks in it and with high lighter. This book was clearly used before and this is false advertisement. Will never order from this person again.By laura
