Description of the Book:

The project attempted to learn whether group counseling could be used effectively to move into employment, or into training for employment, hard core clients of a state vocational rehabilitation agency who, though apparently ready for employment consistently failed to obtain or retain satisfactory employment. A sample of 99 clients were involved in small group meetings aimed at helping them overcome obstacles which had prevented them from becoming employed. Early sessions were totally without structure. It was later found that better results were obtained when the therapists structured and directed the group discussions. The report includes a discussion of instruments which were devised to show what happens to certain attitudes of individuals who participated in group counseling sessions, and to observe and analyze the content and interaction of the groups as they developed. Results indicate that 69 out of 99 obtained employment, or were active in training programs, at or soon after the end of the group sessions.
