This exploratory study examined the impact of three process groups for first-year, first-semester
master’s degree students (N = 20, total). The Group Environment Scale (GES; Moos 1994,
2002), Forms I (Ideal) and R (Real), were utilized to measure the participants’ ideal perceptions
and real perceptions of the small group environment. The overall results show that cohesion,
leader support, task orientation, order/organization, and leader control were critical aspects of
the experience. A group facilitator impact was found when comparing the results from the three
different groups. Implications for group work training and future research are presented.

pedagogical development in a doctoral instructional theory course. We sought

and self-reflection, which contributed to increased self-efficacy as emerging
counselor educators. …

counseling and counselor education, little is known of the experiences of
doctoral students regarding their religious and spiritual backgrounds while
matriculating through their doctoral program. This research explored the
experiences of four researcher-participant counselor education doctoral
students from diverse religious and spiritual backgrounds. This exploration
deepened their understanding of the role their religious and spiritual identities
played in their thoughts, emotions, challenges, and strengths of their
experiences. A phenomenological autoethnography method was used for this
study. A unique data analysis procedure was developed called Integrative
Group Process Phenomenology (IGPP), which was …
