Group Exercises for both Professional and Lay Facilitators
"Exercises for Individual and Group Development "is designed for professionals (psychologists, social workers, therapists, etc.) dealing with high-functioning clients and/or facilitating workshops, and for lay persons involved in community-building or social change groups. In this book, Bufe and DeNunzio clearly describe dozens of exercises designed to foster intimacy, empathy, self-awareness, responsibility, and cooperation. The authors take an eclectic approach to their subject, drawing from many different schools, including cognitive therapy, rational-emotive behavior therapy, gestalt therapy, psychodrama, and even acting exercises. The book includes both physical and verbal exercises, light, enjoyable exercises suited to new groups and beginners, and more intense exercises designed for established groups. In addition to the exercises, the book also covers mediation and facilitation techniques. At present, to the best of our knowledge, this is the only psy! chological exercise manual available through normal book trade channels.
