Editorial Reviews

Grounded in sources as diverse as Kolb's model of experiential learning, Jung's model of psychological types, and , Brooks-Harris (psychologist, U. of Hawaii-Manoa) and Stock-Ward (psychologist, U. of Akron) offer a practical approach to designing and running workshops. Replete with worksheets to enhance facilitation skills. Intended for those wishing to facilitate workshops that are more than misguided lectures. Annotation c.
