A Strategic Solution Focused Approach (Practical Resources for the Mental Health Professional

With clinically rich examples throughout, this book offers applications for couples, including indications for individual or conjoint sessions.

Solution Focused Group Therapy

Ideas for groups in private practice, schools, agencies, and treatment programs

Linda Metcalf

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.
