Group Therapy for Adults with Severe Mental Illness: Adapting the Tavistock method

By Diana Semmelhack, Clive Hazell, Larry Ende

Book Overview

Group Therapy for Adults with Severe Mental Illness

explores a non-traditional application of treatment known as the group-as-a-whole model. This approach to group work derives from the Tavistock tradition, in which emphasis on the whole group versus any specific member makes the group a safe place to risk sharing and confronting painful issues. This text highlights the efficacy of utilizing this model in the treatment of severely mentally ill consumers in various settings including jails, nursing homes and group homes.
