If you're interested in how group dynamics form, what that means for society and counseling, or what it means for your own life (who have you chosen as your friends, what groups are you attracted to at school, work, etc) then pick up this book and set yourself down for a not-so-easy but very informative read. It's a book written for academics. I love it, of course, because group dynamics fascinate me.
I read this book for a Group Processes class that I have in the fall. This book does a good job of giving a general overview of the history and current theories of group processes. The author does an excellent job of defining terms and organizing the information so that it is relatively easy to digest. I feel pretty prepared for class now. :)
Interesting topic, unfortunately a textbook for a class however can’t wait to weaponize these concepts for critical queer and trans theory
The concepts explored here absolutely coincide with queer and trans theory despite still relying on colonialism and medicalization which leads me to incorporate this work for abolition and manipulation of the colonial mind
Antaisin 3.5 tähteä, jos voisin. 445 painavaa tekstiä ryhmäprosesseista. Paljon tutkimustuloksia eri teoreettisten näkemysten tueksi, mutta tekstiä olisi kyllä voinut tiivistää. Hieman jäi tunne, että kirjoittavat eivät osanneet päättää onko kohderyhmänä akateemikot, opiskelijat vai muut.
