Therapeutic Groupwork with Children

Details

This hands-on workbook, written by a clinical psychologist and an educational psychologist, is an invaluable resource for all professionals who work with young children, both in clinics and schools, including teachers, activity leaders and therapists.

• Opens with a description of the book's basis in humanistic philosophy, a discussion of the role of group leaders, how to start and run a group, how to embed the group in its context and evaluate its effects, as well as providing an overview of group literature for children up to the age of 11.
• Contains 40 varied group activities, some original and some more well known, each with clear guidelines, photocopiable worksheets and anecdotal evaluations.
• Guidance is given on how to use the activities in a pick-and-mix approach, with a gradual build-up from simple listening and turn-taking exercises to empathy, problem-solving and dealing with emotions.
• Divided into activities for infants and juniors, they are designed to use different strengths within the children, including verbal, non-verbal, trust, fantasy and physical.
• Using these activities in a group setting will create an environment where children feel listened to, accepted and valued, and in which they can grow emotionally.
