Group Leader Development: Effects Of Personal Growth And Psychoeducational Groups

Keywords

empathy; experiential group; group leadership; therapeutic factors

Abstract

The purpose of this quasi-experimental study was to compare the effects of personal growth groups and psychoeducational groups on counselor education students' (n = 74) empathy and group leader self-efficacy. Additionally, we compared the degree to which participants in each group valued: (a) cohesion, (b) catharsis, and (c) insight. There were no significant differences in empathy, group leader self-efficacy, or cohesion between the groups; however, members of the personal growth groups valued catharsis and insight more than members of the psychoeducational groups. Implications for group work educators and future research are discussed. © 2013 Copyright ASGW.
