Description
Summary:Conceptualizing and planning psychoeducational groups are important tasks for group counselors One difficulty in this process is determining the appropriate order or sequence of group session topics and structured exercises. Although the literature contains substantial information on group topics and exercises for a wide variety of themes of psychoeducational groups, little information is found in the literature to help group counselors conceptualize and design an entire psychoeducational group, particularly in choosing stage-appropriate group activities. The purpose of this article is to provide group counselors a specific model to follow for conceptualizing and developing all types of psychoeducational groups.
