Group Dynamics in Occupational Therapy: The Theoretical Basis & Practice Application of Group Treatment
Group Dynamics in Occupational The Theoretical Basis and Practice Application of Group Treatment, Second Edition examines seven frames of reference for group therapy. This book describes the seven-step method in leading a group, and teaches the reader how the traditional body of knowledge in group dynamics applies to occupational therapy.This edition includes information on co-leadership in today's practice, the pros and cons of its use, and how co-leadership can help therapists plan effectively and gain valuable feedback. Section Two, Group Guidelines From Seven Frames of Reference, has been greatly revised to reflect the latest in group dynamics. Marilyn B. Cole has dedicated an entire chapter to Allen's Cognitive Disabilities Groups because of its extensive development over the past decade. Chapter Five, The Behavioral Cognitive Continuum, represents an attempt to organize the many concepts and techniques occupational therapists use in group treatment, which relate to behavioral and cognitive theory. The chapter describing the Model of Human Occupation Approach has been revised to include new theoretical developments and research. The importance of occupational choices, habit maps and habitat, and roles and role scripts in the context of one's social group and culture are discussed.

*I read the 5th edition.
I liked this book. I'm in a condensed course so we did this class in two weeks (it really should have been longer). This textbook has no end chapter review questions but makes up for it with plenty of worksheets and activity guides peppered throughout. It's paperback so it was lightweight and easy to read/write in for homework.

I thought this was well designed with practical strategies. I did find a few typos which was disappointing.
