Facilitator education: Learning from group counselor education

2006
Abstract
This paper reviews the group counselor education literature and considers implications for the practice of facilitator education. In contrast to the facilitation literature, the literature from the field of group counseling, group psychotherapy, and group work is more explicit about the strategies that can be used to train, develop and educate practitioners in these fields. The use of didactic teaching, observation, experiential participation, and experiential leadership are discussed and implications for facilitator education practice and future research are identified. These include the need to: help emerging facilitators to establish an explicit theoretical orientation; encourage explicit discussion about facilitator education strategies; close the researcher-practitioner gap
