Synopsis:

Argues that the nature of group therapy lends itself to time-limited treatment and presents the basics of solution focused brief therapy for practitioners and patients.

Review: Michael Durrant"Author of "Creative Strategies for School Problems: Solutions for Psychologists and Teachers" Linda Metcalf's book is the logical next step in the solution focused brief therapy literature and, as such, is timely and most welcome....She shows how a therapeutic approach that sets out to be collaboration between clients and therapist is ideally suited to situations where clients in a group can develop therapeutic collaboration as well. Brian Cade"Author of "A Brief Guide to Family Therapy" At last! A reliable and comprehensive work to which I can refer the increasing number of professionals, from a wide variety of practice settings, who are asking me, "Can these techniques be adapted for groups?" It is clear, concise, practical and full of adaptable examples. I...recommend it. Terry Hargrave"Author of "Families and Forgiveness" No one has applied solution focused therapy to more diverse settings in such an effective way as Linda Metcalf. This book opens a whole new door to group therapy. Bill O'Hanlon"Author of "Even from a Broken Web" and "Brief Couples Therapy Homework Planner" Finally, a book on solution-based and collaborative group therapy. The field has been waiting for this book for a long time, and Linda Metcalf has done it well. She includes solid theoretical underpinnings, as well as practical methods of doing group work in a variety of academic and clinical settings. She tells us how to do group therapy with anxiety, depression, anger, adolescents, parents, relationships, and family-of-origin issues. But more than all this, the book is pervaded by a spirit of hope, respect, creativity and humor.
