Group Work with Adolescents Reviews

'A standard text for teaching about group therapy with adolescents... There are many clinical examples. The book is extremely well written and fun to read.' - ASAP Newsletter (American Society for Adolescent Psychiatry)

'Highly recommended for all of us who do - or plan to do - group work with adolescents... The strength of the book is the clear structure and solid advice but also the fact that it is based on personal experience.' - Acta Paediatrica

'I have used the second edition in the classroom as a supplemental text. Providing comprehensive coverage of important clinical issues, with illustrative practice examples drawn from the author's in-depth experience, the book is really helpful for students preparing to practice in this area.' - Ronald W. Toseland, MSW, PhD, School of Social Welfare, University at Albany, State University of New York, USA

'The original edition of this book became an instant classic - required reading for anyone who works with teens. The second edition is ideally suited to practice in the post-9/11 era, as evidenced by the strong emphasis on working with adolescents exposed to trauma and violence... This book should be on the reading list for all who counsel teens individually, in families, and, of course, in groups.' - Lawrence Shulman, MSW, EdD, School of Social Work, University at Buffalo, State University of New York, USA

'Malekoff puts meaning to the 'strengths perspective,' a term that too often just rolls off the tongue; his application of this framework to children and adolescents fills a gap in the literature... This text is a treasure.' - Trudy Duffy, MSW, PhD, School of Social Work, Boston University, USA
