Starting and Sustaining
Groups that Thrive:
Workbook and Planning Guide
Available Now
Dr.
Steiner provides a hands-on approach to the challenges of forming and
maintaining cohesive, durable and effective groups. This easy-to-use manual
includes a screening and preparation system, complete with modifiable
forms. Each form is designed as a guide that you can modify for your
groups.
My screening and preparation system for establishing
therapy groups is collaborative in nature. Over the years clients
have found that the forms I have developed help them think through
what they want out of being in a therapy group. By using the forms
and focusing on important areas when screening potential group members,
clients and I decide whether they are likely to both benefit from and
contribute to the group. Now that I use the forms and worksheets
I developed, new group members feel more connected to the group process
and the groups have significantly less turnover.
Whenever I teach How to Start and Sustain
Groups that Thrive, participants
ask for copies of the forms and worksheets I have developed.
This handy guidebook includes templates that can be
modified based on your needs. Practical tools include:
- Screening Protocols
- Sample Group Agreements
- Group/Life History Forms
- Designing Group Agreements that Fit Your Group
- Agreements for Healthy Termination in Groups
- Different Groups for Different Folks: From Self-Help
to Psychodynamic Groups
- Tools for Self-Help Group Leaders
