Kryter is once again reflected in the book "Theory and Practice of Group Counseling." This is the sixth edition, providing readers with an in-depth introduction to 10 group theories while also interspersing explanations of how to apply these theories in practice. Presenters can see the operational processes of group counseling at each stage, and also learn how to apply group counseling theories in multicultural, ethical, school, and time-limited contexts. The book is accompanied by supporting teaching aids, not only teaching readers the theory but also helping them learn practical application through case studies, reflective exercises, audiovisual demonstrations, and quizzes.
