PERSONAL COUNSELING GROUPS
WHAT IS GROUP COUNSELING AND HOW CAN IT HELP?
Group counseling involves four to ten people meeting with one or two trained counselors to talk about things
that are concerning them. The group provides a safe environment because group membership and everything
said in group is confidential. Group members learn new ways of behaving and interacting with others by
expressing their own feelings about what someone says or does. With the guidance of the counselor(s), the
group provides support and offers alternatives to members so that they may resolve difficulties and develop
new ways of relating to people.
Group counseling also provides the opportunity for people tc see that they are not alone with their problems.
How much you talk about yourself depends on what you are comfortable with. You can benefit from group
even when you are saying little because you will learn about yourself as others talk about their concerns.
SCS COUNSELING GROUPS FOR FALL 1993
If you feel that a particular group may be of help to you, make an appointment at the Student Counseling
Services, 300 YMCA Bldg, (moving to Henderson Hall in 1993-1994) to speak to a screening counselor. The
counselor can help you determine if group counseling would benefit you. If you have any questions concerning
group counseling, call Dr. Laura Bettor (845-4427) at the Student Counseling Service.

said he wanted to allow a doctor
specializing in dwarfism to study
his remains before cremation,
publicist David Brokaw said Sun

He did not want a memorial
service, Brokaw said.
Villechaize made his wishes
known in conversations with his
longtime companion, Kathy Self.
The actor died of a self-inflict
ed gunshot wound, Brokaw said.
He said Villechaize left a note
saying he was despondent be
cause of poor health, but had giv
en no prior indication he planned
to take his life.
Villechaize, who was 3-foot-ll,
suffered medical problems be
cause of his undersized lungs and
nearly died of pneumonia a year
ago.
The actor played Ricardo Mon-
talban's comic sidekick. Tattoo,
on "Fantasy Island," which ran
on ABC from 1978 through 1984.
The French-born Villechaize

stage and in films during the
1960s and 1970s.
