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.). A professional therapist will serve as leader.  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.

This text is an extremely useful addition to the personal library of any person working with groups..  I do not know of any student who has ever sold a copy of this book.  To make purchase feasible, one option is for the 300 page “selected-readings” assignment to be from Johnson and Johnson).
