GROUP PROCEDURE AND DYNAMICS: An Indigenous Global Guide and Grief Counselling
Group Procedure and Dynamics: An Indigenous–Global Guide for Moral, Spiritual, Vocational, and Grief Counselling
By Dr. Ezekiel M.P.C. Onah
�� About the Book
This groundbreaking manual by Dr. Ezekiel M.P.C. Onah bridges indigenous African wisdom with global counselling theory to rebuild people, families, and communities through moral synergy, spiritual healing, and practical skill empowerment.
Drawing from both ancient traditions and modern psychology, Group Procedure and Dynamics teaches how to form, guide, and sustain effective groups — from classrooms to village councils, from grief circles to youth cooperatives — where healing, learning, and productivity thrive together.
At its heart are five integrated frameworks developed by Dr. Onah:
✅ HBMC — Human Beliefs–Moral Counselling: Every group is a moral ecosystem; healing begins by mapping beliefs, not judging behaviour.
✅ HCY — Holy Cross and You: The Cross as a unifying force for moral renewal and spiritual synergy.
✅ CSDIPII — Career Skill Development Information Proforma Interest Inventory: Practical tools to turn group discussions into career direction.
✅ V.V.E.T. — Vocational, Value and Entrepreneurial Training: Transforming groups into hubs of survival skills, ethical trade, and cooperative livelihoods.
✅ Grief Counselling: Restoring the ancient truth that grief must never be borne alone — the circle must stay open.
Blending research, field practice, indigenous proverbs, and the spirit of Umunna bu ike (“the clan is strength”), this book is both a university text and a community field guide for counsellors, educators, faith leaders, NGOs, and all who help others heal and rebuild after loss or crisis.
