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 how group interventions work. The book features instructive case examples and proven, ready-to-use group-focused interventions that can be readily applied or adapted. This volume provides a solid foundation for those new to the field as well as a creative boost for group specialists. Its accessible style makes the book worthwhile as a training text.
