Group Therapy Approaches for Working with Criminal Justice Clients

Treating criminal justice clients in a group setting is a completely different experience than treating a client on a one-on-one basis. The approaches to take when treating a variety of clients are discussed including the various stages that groups inevitably go through. There are discussions on how to deal with a difficult client while not disrupting the entire group. In addition, a number of homework assignments are given that therapists can hand out to their own clients. If, as a therapist, you are interested in conducting group therapy, this book can help you get started to see what steps need to be emphasized and how to effectively treat the clients as a group and get the desired results.
