While there are many excellent books on the market on the subject of leading groups, Shakoor takes the simple yet insightful perspective that learning to be an effective group member is an important part of becoming an effective group leader. This book expands on the individual, practical, and experiential aspects of group work by focusing on the needs of the individual student as a participant, providing a counter-balance to current group literature. Each chapter is built around a case example to illustrate the concepts presented, and will conclude with reflection questions. Topics like cultural diversity, ethics and confidentiality, involvement strategies and skills are included in a practical, user-friendly manner.Muhyiddin Shakoor is the author of 'On Becoming a Group Member: Personal Growth and Effectiveness in Group Counseling', published 2010 under ISBN 9780415965224 and ISBN 0415965225.
