Description
Linda Metcalf presents a fresh approach to group therapy, combining elements of group work and solution-focused brief therapy. This practical guide helps therapists create time-limited treatment plans that foster collaboration and progress among group members. The book covers essential topics such as designing groups, identifying exceptions to destructive behaviors, and keeping the focus on successes rather than failures. It also includes case examples, session transcripts, and reproducible forms to support therapists in their work. Suitable for therapists of any orientation, this resource offers a valuable solution to common problems such as eating disorders, chemical dependencies, grief, depression, anxiety, and sexual abuse.
