Reflecting the authors' unique combination of academic expertise and group consultant experience, this new edition of <i>Groups</i> includes the latest Research on group dynamics and the most current views on ways to make working in groups more effective. Napier and Gershenfeld present complex concepts in a way that makes them more understandable, recognizing that readers are more familiar with the dynamics of the individual behavior and building on that knowledge to teach group theory.<br /><br />Throughout the text they are presented with tools that help them apply concepts and theories. Case studies provide real-life context, and <i>Reader Activities</i> (reflective exercises) and <i>Individual Experiments</i>--creation and observation of group situations--engage readers in the learning process by asking them to apply what they learn to their own lives. At the end of every chapter, <i>For Further Information</i> sections list book and Web resources to provide an expanded perspective
