The leading guide to group-based cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT)
has now been significantly revised with 70% new material, reflecting
over 15 years of research and clinical advances. Too often, CBT
training resources treat groups as simply an extension of individual
therapy. Filling an important need, this text helps students and
practitioners build essential skills for leveraging group process to
optimize outcomes. Featuring sample dialogues, clinical pointers, and
troubleshooting tips, the book provides practical answers to group
leaders' most pressing questions. Effective protocols for treating
specific disorders are presented, with a focus on CBT techniques and
group process factors unique to each type of group.
