BUFE, Charles, & DeNUNZIO, Dale. Exercises for Individual and Group Development: Building Blocks for Intimacy, Awareness and Community. Tucson, AZ: See Sharp Press, 1998. 76pp. $8.95 (p).

Bufe and DeNunzio describe dozens of exercises designed to foster intimacy, empathy, self-awareness, responsibility, and cooperation. They take an eclectic approach to their subject, drawing from many different schools, including cognitive therapy, rational-emotive behavior therapy, gestalt therapy, psychodrama, and even acting exercises. The book includes both physical and verbal exercises, light, enjoyable exercises suited to new groups and beginners, and more intense exercises designed for established groups. In addition to the exercises, the book also covers mediation and facilitation techniques.
