Getting the Most from Group
A Workbook to Build Self-Understanding and Positive Relationships Through the Group Experience

by Jerry L. Jennings & Steven Sawyer

Group therapy can be a powerful experience for those in treatment. Getting the Most from Group has been created as a motivational client workbook that supports group-centered treatment for adolescent and adult males. The book complements and augments overall treatment and group work by preparing clients to enter group therapy with hope and even optimism rather than apprehension. It is intended to motivate them to engage sooner and more meaningfully in treatment, especially in the early period of treatment.

"A motivational client workbook that supports group-centered treatment for adolescent and adult males."

The workbook fits into any therapeutic framework, including cognitive behavioral, psychodynamic, good lives and interpersonal. The language can be understood and applied by adolescent and adult males alike. It is also flexible enough to be used in outpatient, residential, inpatient, correctional, and forensic settings and for multiple types of group-based treatment programs, including treatment for substance abuse, domestic violence, sexual abuse, mental health, and anger management.

Getting the Most from Group includes six journaling pages that can also be photocopied for use by the client.
