An excellent resource for working with groups,
By A Customer
This review is from: Working With Groups to Enhance Relationships (Paperback)
My colleague and I have incorporated activities from this book into parenting programs we have been facilitating this year. We have had very positive feedback from group participants. It has been quite simple to slightly vary activities to provide a parenting focus. Part two of the book is a great practical addition to narrative therapy literature and has been inspiring to us as facilitators.
