working in a group environment

The workbook is strongly task oriented, as you should expect. Each chapter does have a concise description of its theme, like intervention techniques or conflict resolution. But you are expected to use the underlying textbook for a fuller exposition. Instead, this workbook has extensive exercises for the chapters. Many are group exercises, which are meant to also let you garner experience in contributing to and running such groups. Indeed a significant point of the entire workbook is the latter. Above the specifics of a given exercise's tasks, take the opportunity to work in a group environment. Good practical experience.
