The main focus of this book is to provide group leaders with the professional tools to activate positive group processes and give members growth-producing experiences. It is developmental rather than remedial and motivated primarily by the growth needs of members. The model is for people who want to expand their personal development and experience growth in a self-actualizing paradigm. The book is highly practical for such diverse settings as probation departments, mental health units, community groups, rehabilitation groups, school settings, and family counseling. The basic premise of the book is that open, honest, and direct communication among human beings is both possible and desirable.
