"Adlerian Group Counseling and Therapy represents a distillation of some of the most significant ideas pertaining to the group work of Alfred Adler and Rudolf Dreikurs. This timely new text illustrates the development of a group from the formation to the final stage, giving readers a clear picture of what is important to accomplish at each stage of the group. Central to the book is a commentated typescript of an actual group session led by Dr. Sonstegard, which offers a unique glimpse into the mind of a master therapist at work. The book addresses both practical and theoretical dimensions of Adlerian group process, providing the reader with a complete step-by-step guide to the implementation, practice, and evaluation of group counseling and therapy."--BOOK JACKET.
