Psychoeducational Groups

""Nina W. Brown has updated her must-have primer on facilitation of psychoeducational groups! As in previous editions, Dr Brown reveals a blueprint for the burgeoning group facilitator to design and lead successful psychoeducational groups. In this latest edition, Dr Brown addresses group design, group dynamics, and group facilitation skills and tackles the current topics of leading psychoeducational groups safely and effectively in a culture of electronic media. I most strongly recommend this book for educators who teach psychoeducational group facilitation and for clinicians who want to lead highly effective psychoeducational groups."" Abie C.
