`Solution-Focused Groupwork (2001) was a major contribution to the
literature on groupwork. It has been one of this author's most
influential books. The Second Edition contains much new material
including the uses of 'problem talk', an activity normally avoided
by solution-focused therapists. Preparation for groups, client
motivation and collaboration are all explored in detail. The role
of (or necessity for?) social time to be built into the therapy
model is an interesting and novel idea. Suggestions are made for
client evaluation and for creative exercises to enhance the group
process. All in all, the result is a valuable and readable new
edition' - Dr Alasdair J Macdonald `Enlightening, clearly written,
and helpfully presented...The book echoes what Solution-Focused
Groupwork is all about - being practical and optimistic about human
potential' - David Jaques, Author of Learning in Groups `A fund of
practical wisdom which will give confidence and encouragement to
everyone trying to run groups along solution-focused lines' - Bill
O'Connell, Focus on Solutions Limited, Birmingham `John Sharry has
drawn on a combination of extensive experience in running groups
and a thorough understanding of current developments to produce an
inspiring and practical guide to this powerful way of helping
people to change. I have recommended the first edition many times
and have been sharing the good news of this new edition ever since
I knew it was under way' - John Wheeler MA, UKCP Registered Family
Therapist, Social Worker and Independent Trainer. `Sharry's book
offers a persuasive alternative to traditional methods of group
practice. The new edition enhances the applicability of an already
major contribution to solution-focused practice. It is obviously
written from a real practitioner who understands the process and
elements of group work. He offers excellent case material
throughout to help demonstrated the skills and values of this
approach and does so in a readable and engaging manner suitable for
students and professionals at all levels of expertise' - Professor
Robert Blundo, Ph.D., LCSW, Strengths Collaborative, Department of
Social Work, University of North Carolina Wilmington, Wilmington,
NC. U.S.A. `This slim tautly written volume disguises an enormously
practical treasure store to help group facilitators.
Solution-Focused Groupwork should be essential reading' - Barbara
Wilson, Family Mediation in Practice Solution-Focused Groupwork,
Second Edition is a highly practical guide for all professionals
who use groups to help people. For those new to the
solution-focused approach it provides a clear, step-by-step
introduction, while for more experienced practitioners it presents
ideas and techniques which can be readily integrated into existing
practice. Using carefully selected case studies, John Sharry takes
readers through the various stages in the therapeutic process, from
getting started to the final session. He also provides: " creative
exercises for use in practice, " guidance on evaluating the
outcomes of group work and " a new model for group supervision. A
real strength of the book is in showing practitioners how to create
a constructive, positive and solution-focused group culture and how
to maintain this culture in spite of the challenges, tensions and
difficulties that naturally arise within groups. John Sharry is a
Principal Social Worker in the Department of Child and Family
Psychiatry, Mater Hospital, and part-time Director of the Brief
Therapy Group (Private Practice and Consultancy).
