Group Therapy with Alcoholics: Outpatient and Inpatient Approaches (SAGE Human Services Guides)

Levine and Gallogly focus on 'hard-core' alcoholics: clients who have not responded to the usual educational treatment programmes. Their approach 'attempts to help clients convince themselves' of their problem.The book is divided into two parts. The first focuses on out-patient groups: why and how they form, methods of motivation and types of treatment. The second considers in-patient services, outlining their objectives and exploring their five elements -- entrance, the in-patient programme, pre-discharge services, post-discharge services and family services.Complete with study questions for each chapter and a full bibliography, Group Therapy for Alcoholics will interest administrators of alcoholism programmes, counsellors and students and professionals involved in the self-help approach to human services.
