Reviews:

• It is quite thought provoking and adds much to the available thinking about the treatment of disturbed adolescents.
  —Meninger Clinic Bulletin
• The authors offer not only a sound model for adolescent group treatment, but the strong emphasis on actual practice can aid the practioner in his or her daily work. At one point in reading this book, I noted how much underlining I was doing; I realized this was occurring due to the many excellent ideas in this book.
  —American Journal of Psychotheraphy
• This book is written in a clear, concise style that adroitly interweaves concepts and research findings with applications from the practice and experience of the authors. The whys and wherefores of conducting a group with adolescents are nicely framed within the context of the developmental needs, tasks, and obstacles particular to this life-cycle stage.
