Book 2740.http://place.asburyseminary.edu/syllabi/2740  GROUP COUNSELING  CO 675 (3 cr. hours) Approx. Number in Course: 16  Harold Burgess #2304  FAS Office 858-4222 (most mornings)   This course offers an overview of the more common approaches to working with groups that are formed for the practice of counseling.  The key goal is to help course members develop a personal theory, framework, synthesis and a number of "tools" suitable to support a professional practice.    This course will require investment of Thursday evenings from 5:30 to 9:00 or 6:45 to 10:00 (exact schedule will be determined during the first class session). At least eight evenings will require participation as a client in a group with a contracted therapist.  For this experience a laboratory fee of $75 has been added to your account.  The time of these meetings for this semester will be either 5:30 – 6:45 or 8:45 – 10:00 ( approx.). Sharon Bryson will be serving as therapist (one group will probably meet prior to the plenary class session, the other immediately after).  In order to insure that these “therapy sessions” are as real as possible, no report will be made to the professor other than affirmation that each student has "fully participated" according to standards agreed upon by the therapy group.
