Group leaders may use this book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
Charles Bufe and Dale DeNunzio present 34 exercises that group leaders can use to promote person-to-person discussion within groups. These are easy exercises to learn and implement, but they presume the development of intimacy and therefore are not useful for groups that need merely to articulate opinions, brainstorm, or problem-solve.Some of these exercises are appropriate for teenaged groups. Other exercises, e.g., eyes-closed touch, or group massage, will require some extra lead-in time, to manage anxiety.Some of the "trust building" exercises are well known and are part of any reasonable group development course, for example, backwards falls. You can find these in other programs, for example, Project Adventure.Still, a reasonable collection of things to do. Group facilitators will need to think through exactly how to implement these, and not merely take them "out of the can."
