This updated text aims to provide students with the principles and practical applications needed to work effectively in small groups both in and out of the classroom. It emphasizes critical thinking and uses a general systems theory framework to help students look at the complex human system of the small group. This edition contains expanded coverage of ethics and culture and shows how these issues relate to and affect small group discussion. Additional material on group creativity, group support systems and team-building activities introduce students to methods and tools that can be used in various small group situations and real-life examples open each chapter.
