Incorporating cognitive, behavioural, social resources and small group theory into one model, this volume offers strategies for treating adolescents in a variety of groups. Anger management, negotiation and using social support networks are among the topics covered. The book is illustrated with case studies, and practical exercises are included.
The author addresses such topics as: dealing with disruptive young people; using the group to develop completed home tasks; formulating achievable goals; assisting group members to help each other; and coordinating family and group therapy.
Addresses practitioners who lead cognitive-behavioral groups for troubled youths (as well as students or practitioners who are being introduced to this style of therapy), describing techniques for enhancing motivation and participation, building cohesion, and preventing and dealing with problems. Topics include assessment, evaluation, goal setting, the modeling sequence, cognitive and relaxation coping strategies, ways to enhance social support, extragroup tasks, and staff training and supervision.
