Creating Effective Groups: The Art of Small Group Communication
I've been using Randy Fujushin's book for several years now as a supplemental, although required, text for my introductory class in social work practice with groups. The students consistently tell me that this book makes a difference in their professional development and helps prepare them to function as better group leaders and members. The accessible and pertinent content complements and supplements the other, more traditional, group work texts. I'm pleased with the revised edition and will continue to use the text in my teaching. (Debra Nelson-Gardell)I have usedCreating Effective Groupsin conjunction with a more traditional textbook in my group dynamics course for several years. This is the most approachable book on groups—that is also solidly grounded in research—on the market. Whenever I'm approached to provide guidance to groups who are struggling, I give a copy of this book to the person making the inquiry. Uniformly these individuals have told me that the book made a positive difference in the functioning of their committees and groups. (Betsy L. Morgan)
