Adlerian Group Counseling and Therapy: Step-by-Step represents a distillation of some of the most significant ideas pertaining to the group work of Alfred Adler and Rudolf Dreikurs. Drs. Manford Sonstegard and James Bitter illustrate the development of a group from its formation to its final stage, giving readers a clear picture of what is important to accomplish at each stage of the group. This book also addresses many practical dimensions of the Adlerian group process, including: forming a group relationship, creating a democratic and accepting climate, conducting psychological assessments, increasing the awareness and insight of group members, translating group insight into action, methods of re-education through encouragement, and building on personal strengths discovered within the group experience.
