Group Counseling
3 credits
Candidates investigate group dynamics and processes related to counseling theory by participating in group counseling demonstrations. This course is designed for candidates to gain group counseling skills, and self-awareness about one’s own qualities, needs, motivations, and values that can either facilitate or interfere with one’s effectiveness as a group participant and group leader. Group counseling will be clearly differentiated from group guidance. Potential uses of group counseling in schools and methods of organizing group counseling sessions are addressed. This is an online live course and a weekly online synchronous meeting is required.
