Incorporating the most up-to-date concepts and clinical tools, the newly revised and expanded second edition of this popular manual is even more user-friendly than its predecessor. Presented are an empirically tested format and ready-made curricula for skills training groups in a range of settings. Part I takes therapists and counsellors step by step through assessing clients' existing skills, teaching new skills, and managing common treatment challenges. Part II comprises over sixty ready-to-photocopy skill sheets (fifteen more than the previous edition), each one a complete lesson plan in itself. Other features of the second edition include an important new chapter on working with dually diagnosed clients; an overview of the empirical support for the approach; and additional assessment forms. Of special value for practitioners, the new 8.5x11" format makes it easier than ever to reproduce and use the practical materials in the book.
