Group Interventions in Schools cover

Tapping into the therapeutic potential of groups, this volume presents the theory and practice of cognitive-oriented group-centered counseling – combining intrinsic motivation, efficacy retraining, and targeted play therapy and social role-playing – that can be implemented to help children build core social skills and emotional regulation to complement their classroom instruction. In addition to providing a complete framework for developing, facilitating, and evaluating group interventions with children in their natural learning environments, this book offers observational exercises to assist readers in gaining a deeper understanding of group interventions.

From the reviews:

"This book is a good primer and resource for school-based professionals interested in providing group-centered interventions in the school setting … . the reader is provided with observational exercises and ready-to-use interventions at the end of every chapter of the book. … this book offers practitioners useful information that may be used to intervene with children and adolescents in a school-based group format. … This book is a useful resource to have in one’s cache of intervention resources." (Angela D. Mitchell, PsycCRITIQUES, Vol. 54 (1), January, 2009)
