Query: The book to read for group therapy

I will keep this book as an extremely important reference in forming and leading counseling groups. It is such a practical guide. Certainly, it's based on theory and provides research on the theoretical foundation of group therapy, but the part I like most is the step-by-step guide on creating, leading, and facilitating groups. In addition, there are several chapters devoted to helping you deal with conflict in the group, as well as challenging groups that avoid risks and confrontations. Some very useful techniques discussed in the book are the Hot Seat Method and Stir the Pot. Also valuable are assumptions you must consider when leading groups. I'm beginning to put together a group at my high school on stress management. I can't imagine not using this book in planning and executing the curriculum. I know I will need Chen and Rybak's book often as a reference while leading the group. Every counselor who plans to facilitate a group should buy this book.
