This is an excellent book for occupational therapy students in the classroom and clinical settings. It list examples of group activities outlining the seven stage group format at the same time implementing the various frames of references. This book saved me and I would recommend it to every student.
provides a good description of the major Frames of Reference used in group Therapy. Also gives examples of activities within each framwork. i used it for a class in group therapy.
This book is really excellent. It is well organized and is easy to understand. I know its supposed to be specific to Group Dynamics but this book can be applied to the OT field as a whole, I think its one to buy instead of rent.
Another OT book that dumbs down every aspect of the profession. Skip it and read the assigned chapters online. Or rent it if you have to - Not worth keeping for future practice. People in my class who kept it regretted it.
Has some reallygreat ideas, easy to read and hold your attention.
Shipping was great. Bought this for a class. Great Content.
This book has helped me a great deal in my studies.
Good book to use in OT school and afterwards.
