Product Review
"EXCELLENT DESCRIPTIONS of highly applicable group activities relevant to a wide range of groups of a wide range of types, from training groups to addictions and grief resolution and support; to working with children, adolescents, and college-age members; and couple and family groups. The descriptions of the activities are detailed, with a sound rationale, and appropriate lists of props and copies of forms. An especially useful element in each description is a section on contraindications of the activity to alert group workers to limitations and potential problems. . . . Students and new professionals will find this notebook VERY VALUABLE, and seasoned group workers will also benefit from this new collection of activities through which to provide increased breadth and depth and additional stimulation into their groups. This book MAKES A SOLID CONTRIBUTION TO THE PRACTICE OF GROUP WORK and to the group members we serve. -- Donald E. Ward, PhD, Professor and Chair, Counseling Committee, Department of Psychology and Counseling, Pittsburg State University, Pittsburg, Kansas; Editor, Journal for Specialists in Group Work
"Includes straightforward and powerful learning activities that can be used in groups that focus on a wide variety of goals. . . . Does an EXCELLENT job . . . providing theoretical insight into respective counseling issues and following up with procedures that take full advantage of group process. I found the activities throughout the book to be relevant across age groups, populations, settings, counseling specialties (e.g., school, mental health, psychology, social work, etc.), and counseling issues. . . . Provides A UNIQUE AND VALUABLE CONTRIBUTION to both the practitioner trainer. . . . Offers the reader a comprehensive compilation of state-of-the-art resources for each counseling issue. If I were to have compiled a notebook of my best activities and resources that have withstood the test of time for conducting group counseling, this would be it." -- Russell A. Sabella, PhD, Professor, Florida Gulf Coast University
Product Description
Group work requires facilitators to use different skills than they would use in individual or family therapy. The Group Therapist's Notebook: Homework, Handouts, and Activities for Use in Psychotherapy offers facilitators effective strategies to gather individuals who have their own unique needs together to form a group where each member feels comfortable exploring personal—and often painful—topics. This resource provides creative handouts, homework, and activities along with practical ideas and interventions appropriate for a variety of problems and population types. Each chapter gives detailed easy-to-follow instructions, activity contraindications, and suggestions for tracking the intervention in successive meetings. Every intervention is backed by a theoretical or practical rationale for use, and many chapters feature a helpful illustrative clinical vignette.
