"Illuminating, challenging, and inspiring this outstanding resource shows Gerald and Marianne Corey in action as they demonstrate their integrative approach to group work. The video features two separate programs. Filmed at a three-day intensive group co-facilitated by the Coreys, the two-hour "Evolution of a Group" program portrays the significant events that occurred as the group moved through its initial, transition, working, and ending stages. The Coreys demonstrate a wide variety of group techniques and skills--including how to deal with members' feelings of not being "good enough," their fears of being judged, and their difficulties with intimate relationships,Band the real participants (not actors) present reactions in the group context. Covering themes suggested by the Coreys' work with students and by their colleagues, the 90-minute "Challenges Facing Group Leaders" portion of the DVD emphasizes the initial and transition stages of a group's development, the stages which tend to create the most anxiety and concern for group practitioners. By watching this program, students will explore diversity issues in group work, discover ways of reframing resistance; and find examples of how to work therapeutically with defensive behaviors. The Coreys did not create a script for this video; group members improvised around a series of situations. The workbook, which utilizes an interactive format, engages active learning skills as students study the group process in action." --Thomson.
