This review is from: Group Treatment of Neurogenic Communication Disorders: the Expert Clinician's Approach (Paperback)

This is a great book about group treatment for adults clients! The chapters give specific examples of how group treatment programs are set up in a variety of settings. And the chapters are actually written by the people who run the programs. This book helped me set up a new group treatment program. I highly recommend it!
