Putting a New Spin on Groups is one of the most original books I have read on small group behavior. The author's application of chaos theory to small group development harkens me back to Kurt Lewin's innovative work with groups. Adaptation of Arthur Young's work in creating a model of group development is also very innovative. I was especially pleased to see uncommon topics covered in this book such as women in leadership roles, group metaphors, and regressive groups. The chapter on the transpersonal and spiritual aspects of groups was new to me and alone worth the purchase of this book. Anyone working with groups or involved in a group or business organization would come away from reading this book with radically different ideas about group dynamics. It's definitely a winner!
