Psychoeducational Groups : Process and Practice

The fifth edition of Psychoeducational Groups builds on and extends the strategies and information from previous editions; describes and presents the fundamental information needed to design, plan, and organize structure; and facilitates effective psychoeducation groups.

These groups have proven to be therapeutic for a variety of audiences from children to older adults, as well as for illnesses, conditions, emotional disturbances, and life transitions. Brown presents guidance for the use of current technological advances for the benefit of the group and its members, current techniques that facilitate group processes, training guides for group leaders, and the supporting professional development and understandings for group leaders.

This book includes the professional background, the educational component, the group, facilitation skills components, and applications for psychoeducational groups for children, adolescents, adults, and older adults.
