About this title

Synopsis

`The Second Edition of this manual includes new group exercises. Carrell′s enthusiasm for her work is clear, as is her understanding of the client base for which these groups are structured. All of these factors make this manual a useful addition to the resource material of any team that works in a group setting with adolescents′ - Clinical Child Psychology and Psychiatry

The updated and expanded Second Edition of the bestselling Group Exercises for Adolescents contains six new exercises, together with a chapter on working with specialized groups.

The `how to′ manual provides both the foundation upon which to build for therapists new to group work and a fresh approach for experienced practitioners. It covers issues central to adolescence, including sex, emotionality and family dynamics. Objectives for each exercise are included, together with examinations of possible pitfalls and problems. The manual provides a complete group programme and can stand alone, or it can supplement an existing programme.
