«This volume, written by three specialists in adult education and group facilitation, examines all the conditions that transform a gathering into an effective tool for personal and social growth. It is intended for anyone engaged in collaborative work: beginning facilitators, experienced facilitators who want to refine their method and assess their progress, members of a study group, and others.»
It should be noted that the book addresses discussion groups specifically—not, for example, recreational groups or other activities. The volume is brief and clear. Some may find it overly simplified, since it offers practical rules rather than theory. For us, that simplicity is precisely what makes it valuable for anyone tasked with facilitating or coordinating a group.
