Communicating in Small Groups Principles and Practices

Praise for Beebe & Masterson'sCommunicating in Small Groups "While covering communication in small groups, the text does a nice job of balancing group processes and group theory. By incorporating emphases on diversity, ethics, logic, and critical thinking also, this text broadly serves its users." --Dr. Rock Doddridge, Asheville-Buncombe Technical Community College"The combination of a straightforward writing style, attention to theory, and concern for practice make this a very accessible and useful book for undergraduate students." --Daniel Modaff, Ohio University"The hands on exercises are important for helping students apply the theory to reality." --Valerie Manno Giroux, University of Miami"The book is well written, filled with valuable conclusions from research, and addressed central concerns in an interesting way." --Robert D. Harrison, Gallaudet University" The book covers concepts and theories well without overwhelming students with concepts they won't need in a first-level course." --Mary-Jo Popovici, Monroe Community College"The ethical questions raised throughout the book really add a lot. The critical thinking material is the best I have seen in any group text." --Marshall Scott Poole, Texas A&M University" There is an appropriate balance between recognizing that decision making and problem solving are distinct processes, while also realizing that they have essential elements in common." --Thomas G. EndresUniversity of St. Thomas"I'm especially pleased to see an entire chapter devoted to diversity rather than writing a paragraph at the end of the book that no one would read." --Karen M.
