Extreme Facilitation: Guiding Groups Through Controversy and Complexity By Suzanne Ghais (Jossey-Bass, April 2005, $40.00)

IMAGE PHOTOGRAPH1

Whether you're an experienced facilitator or just starting out, Suzanne Ghais gives you the strength to conquer

the most difficult sessions. She asserts that her method, extreme facilitation, will help you in situations that are "controversial, complex, large-scale, emotional, or otherwise exceptionally difficult." Her work with CDR Associates prepared her to write this book, which, she says, assumes that conflict will occur and thus picks up where others leave off.

Ghais doesn't try to fit every situation into a mold; she emphasizes that extreme facilitation is a creative process that varies among groups and situations. However, there are common elements to her method, and her outline of them demonstrates the depth of her knowledge and experience.
