Abstract

Issues contributing to the lack of aftention to maximizing the group process and group participant involvement in decision making are described: the co-leadership format for teaching group leadership, the lack of training in group-specific knowledge and skills, and the domination of the leader as central helping force in group work. A description of group-related knowledge and skills is offered.
