Product Description

Review

combining a strong theoretical content, including a comprehensive group dynamic theory, with a repertoire for practical action this guide provides the foundations for building effective and successful skills to suit the facilitator's personality and closely match situations encountered.


Product Description

john heron, well known for his previous books, the facilitator’s handbook (1989) and group facilitation (1993), both of which have become standard reading on the subject, now integrates, builds on and updates those works to provide this comprehensive guide to making a success of facilitation. the key to the new book lies in the way in which it helps facilitators to understand and develop a personal style to their work. analytical in approach and highly structured, it offers strong theoretical content on the fundamental thinking underlying facilitation (which includes exploration of its dimensions and modes, whole person learning, and a comprehensive group dynamic theory) but combines this with a wide repertoire for practical action designed to enable facilitators to build up their skills effectively. john heron’s distinctive merit here is his demonstration of the benefit to be derived when such skills not only suit facilitator’s own personality but can also be matched to whatever situation facilitators encounter. this publication makes john heron’s seminal work newly accessible – for it is now available for the first time in paperback – to a new generation of facilitators in both training and education.

5.0 out of 5 stars Comprehensive coverage of the subject, 24 Mar 2001
By A Customer
I bought this to find out what a facilitator is/does. The book has provided me with comprehensive information. I can relate well to the group dynamics (form experience of being in a group) and to the facilitator's relationship and interaction with groups/trainees. An excellent book, I know I will go back to it time and time again. Well written, the explanations are in depth without being too technical.

Perhaps if you are already a facilitator or experienced trainer, some of this will not be new to you. However, I imagine it would prove to be a useful addition to any library.

2.0 out of 5 stars Over complicated, 27 Jan 2006
Heron's model of facilitation is over complicated and parts of this book are badly written psycho-babble. I don't recommend it and suggest people new to facilitation look elsewhere for advice.

1.0 out of 5 stars Awful, 6 Jul 2006
By D. J. Carpenter - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I have attempted to read this book several times and each time have failed. It is vastly overcomplicated "psychobabble".
It assumes that every student is "damaged" and needs nurturing. I can only guess that this book is aimed at psychologists, as if I attempted some of the activities such as entering a discussion with my students about what learning should take place they would probably laugh me out of the class or hang me.

2.0 out of 5 stars Daunting and over-complicated
I believe myself to be a reasonably competent facilitator but this book, far from inspiring, left me utterly baffled. Read more
