Unlike any other text that discusses day hospital programming, A
Guide to Creative Group Programming in the Psychiatric Day Hospital
contains protocols for the invention of new groups, saving you the
time and effort needed to create one yourself. Intended for social
workers, psychologists, and occupational therapists, this book
introduces new and unique methods on how to invent or manage groups
for a day hospital program, inpatient unit, or intensive outpatient
program. The text also includes exercises that address the topics
of motivation, self-esteem, shifting cognitive distortions, and
risk-taking in relationships. Because the protocols were created
with different types of patient groups in mind, this book contains
ideas not offered in typical treatment settings. A Guide to
Creative Group Programming in the Psychiatric Day Hospital is
designed to help clinicians capture the interest of patients and to
promote the discourse of important treatment issues by providing:
50 protocols for operating existing day hospital, inpatient or
outpatient groups advice, professional opinions, and notes from the
author to the clinician on all protocols exercises to help patients
strengthen their abilities to handle the activities of daily living
and socialization several hypothetical exercises, complete with a
list of preparations, a description of the activity, and progress
notes from observations with patient assessments numerous examples
that use parts of popular movies to create new groups and stimulate
discussion comprehensive, easy-to-follow instructions for both
clinicians and patients The protocols in A Guide to Creative Group
Programming in the Psychiatric Day Hospital contain detailed
example activities complete with worksheets, skits, sample
discussions, and hypothetical patient reactions to certain topics.
Many exercises request that the patient set goals for himself or
herself before starting a new topic. In addition, there is
suggested homework for the patient to complete after a topic has
been discussed, allowing you to monitor what your patients have
learned and how they have improved after the exercise. After
reading A Guide to Creative Group Programming in the Psychiatric
Day Hospital, you'll be ready to treat your patients using easy,
effective methods that will lead to successful group discussions
and lessen the chance of patient relapse.
