Features: This book is a work in which the author deeply explores group psychological counseling. While teaching, the author explicitly points out the importance of "the self-cultivation of the group leader"; the following chapters then introduce various elements crucial to the success of group counseling, including "planning work before group counseling," "the goals of group counseling," "the dynamics of group counseling," etc. Subsequently, with the help of numerous specific examples, the book provides a detailed analysis of the characteristics of groups at different stages, discusses how to handle difficult group members, and introduces various highly practical exercises that can be frequently used in groups. The final chapter responds to the earlier content, reiterating the crucial role of "the person"—the group counselor—in the entire counseling process. This book can serve as a textbook for university psychology, education, sociology, and related disciplines, as well as a reference book and training material for practicing counseling professionals and psychological counseling teachers.
