Although the amount of literature on groups is growing at a rapid rate, concise delineation of the functional and skill expectations of group facilitators is rela tively rare. This article attempts to articulate and discuss a model based on a specific set of assumptions about causality and effectiveness in interactional groups. The authors discuss personal qualities of group facilitators and propose five major functions and seven skill clusters central to effective group facilitation.
