What people are saying…


Sivasailam “Thiagi” Thiagarajan:

 

  • “If I ever invent a time-travel machine, I would use it to make Gary Rush’s book available 20 years earlier so that I could have used it when I started my career as a facilitator.
  • I have met some excellent facilitators who lack writing skills. I have met effective writers who could not conduct a facilitated session even if their life depended on it. Gary is an anomaly who is a good, clear, and precise writer who is also a flexible, engaging, and practical facilitator.”

 

Izzy Gesell:

 

“What an engaging and valuable book to have. This is a handbook that no one who works with groups should be without. Among the benefits here that I’ve seen nowhere else:

 

  • Clear, cautionary and concise explanation of why, when and how to use PETs. A wealth of material that can be used in almost any situation.
  • Explicit connections between individual PETS and the emotional flow of group process. Not only which games to play but also how those games affect the relationships of the participants.
  • It’s very encouraging to realize that once a PET is used, it can then serve as a basis for personal adaptation by ANY facilitator. These PETS are not ends in themselves, they can be springboards for individual customization.”
