In our managed care era, group therapy, long the domain of
traditional psychodynamically oriented therapists, has emerged as
the best option for millions of Americans. However, the process can
be frustratingly slow, and studies show that patients actually feel
worse after months of group treatment than when they began. Can and
should "the group" speed a person's progress? Now, in this "must
have" book, marriage and family therapist Linda Metcalf
persuasively argues that the collaborative nature of group therapy
actually lends itself to time-limited treatment. She combines the
best elements of group work and the popular solution focused brief
therapy approach to create new opportunities for practitioners and
patients alike.
Among the topics covered in this valuable guide are:
- how to learn the model
- how to design a group and recruit members
- how to identify exceptions to a group member's self-destructive
behaviors and thoughts
- how to help members focus on their successes rather than their
failures
- how to keep the group solution focused when therapists or
members fall back into old patterns
This unique resource also includes case examples and session
transcripts to follow, together with reproducible forms that can be
used as they are or tailored to a therapist's needs. "Solution
Focused Group Therapy" is an up-to-the-minute, highly accessible
resource for therapists of any orientation. Managed care companies
in particular will welcome this model, which deals so effectively
and economically with today's biggest problems, including eating
disorders, chemical dependencies, grief, depression, anxiety, and
sexual abuse.
