GUICO: A Synthesized Group Approach.

The guico (guidance and counseling) approach synthesizes various elements of group guidance and group counseling in order to achieve developmental-social and remedial problem-solving goals in group settings. Co-counselors share responsibility for group leadership, provide structure for group events, and act as models in role-playing situations. Group members carry out assignments based on hierarchically ordered events and chart their progress throughout the group's life cycle.
