"Actions Speak Louder than Words" has become recognised as an essential tool for all therapists working with people with communication difficulties. This new edition is a manual of over 50 structured group exercises for use when working with groups to help those taking part to overcome problems with interpersonal communication. The terminology and language in this new edition has been revised to explain the use of exercises in the context of the latest developments in psychiatric medicine. Each exercise follows a step by step approach making it easy to use in a practical situation. Specific problem areas are targeted and the aims and objectives clearly stated. Similar exercises are grouped together for easy reference and comparison. Suggested discussion topics encourage further exploration of particular subjects and allow the techniques to be adapted for individual situations.
