ABSTRACT
Evaluating group counseling is pivotal to both the individual group experience and the ongoing group program. Rapin and Conyne (Chapter 8) and ASGW’s Best Practices Guidelines (Appendix C) emphasize the critical importance of evaluation by making a specific place for it in planning, performing, and processing group work. Evaluation is particularly important to the group practitioners in the field who wishes to determine whether group counseling is effective or not and who may need such information not only to enhance the quality of the group experience but to justify the viability of groups as a helping modality.
