This book introduces you to new and unique methods on how to create or manage groups for a day hospital, inpatient unit, or intensive outpatient program to best meet the needs of your patients.
Full Description:
Unlike any other text that discusses day hospital programming, A Guide to Creative Group Programming in the Psychiatric Day Hospital is the only book that contains protocols for the creation of new groups, saving you the time and effort needed to create one yourself. This book introduces new and unique methods on how to create or manage groups for a day hospital program, inpatient unit, or intensive outpatient program. Intended for social workers, psychologists, and occupational therapists, it also includes exercises that address the topics of motivation, self-esteem, shifting cognitive distortions, and risk taking in relationships. The protocols in the handbook contain detailed example activities complete with worksheets, skits, sample discussions, and hypothetical patient reactions to certain topics. Many exercises request that the patient set goals for themselves before starting a new topic. In addition, there is suggested homework for the patient to complete after a topic has been discussed, allowing you to monitor what your patients have learned and how they have improved after the exercises. After reading A Guide to Creative Group Programming in the Psychiatric Day Hospital, you'll be ready to treat your patients using easy, effective methods that will lead to successful group discussions and lessen the chance of patient relapse.
