Praise for The Handbook for Working with Difficult Groups

"Beginning with a conceptual framework useful to understand effective group functioning, The Handbook for Working with Difficult Groups continues with twenty chapters, each describing a common challenge a facilitator can face, examining the research available to understand the difficulty, and then offering pragmatic interventions a facilitator can use to deal with this challenge. A must–read for any group facilitator." David Straus, founder, Interaction Associates

Should be in the library of any leader or facilitator!" Tammy Adams, CPF, president, Chaosity LLC
