This course provides students with theoretical and experiential understandings of group development and dynamics.  A focus will be on principles of group dynamics, developmental stage theories, group member roles and behaviors, leadership styles, theories of group counseling, types of groups and professional preparation standards for group leaders. In order to facilitate self-understanding, a critical component to becoming a professional counselor, students will spend 10 hours as a member of a group during the course and will reflect upon that experience.
