Solution Focused Group Therapy: Ideas for Groups in Private Practise, Schools,

In our managed care era, group therapy, long the domain of traditional psychodynamically oriented therapists, has emerged as the best option for millions of Americans. However, the process can be frustratingly slow, and studies show that patients actually feel worse after months of group treatment than when they began. Can and should “the group” speed a person’s progress? Now, in this “must have” book, marriage and family therapist Linda Metcalf persuasively argues that the collaborative nature of group therapy actually lends itself to time-limited treatment. She combines the best elements of group work and the popular solution focused brief therapy approach to create new opportunities for practitioners and patients alike.
Among the topics covered in this valuable guide are:
how to learn the model
how to design a group and recruit members
how to identify exceptions to a group member’s self-destructive behaviors and thoughts
how to help members focus on their successes rather than their failures
how to keep the group solution focused when therapists or members fall back into old patterns
This unique resource also includes case examples and session transcripts to follow, together with reproducible forms that can be used as they are or tailored to a therapist’s needs. Solution Focused Group Therapy is an up-to-the-minute, highly accessible resource for therapists of any orientation. Managed care companies in particular will welcome this model, which deals so effectively and economically with today’s biggest problems, including eating disorders, chemical dependencies, grief, depression, anxiety, and sexual abuse.

IFC's Make Media Matter forum

Chicago’s journalism elite gathered together Thursday afternoon for yet another group therapy session, this time bringing Carl Bernstein and our beloved editor-in-chief, Marcus Gilmer, into the mix. Covering a sweeping range of topics, the central theme was the future of the news industry. Conclusion? Doom. Oh, and there’s no agreeing on life-saving measures. It wasn’t that we didn’t have the most brilliant minds of the old guard in the conference room at the Newberry Library for the IFC’s Make Media Matter series – Bernstein was joined by editors Gerould Kern (Chicago Tribune), Donald Hayner (Chicago Sun-Times), Tran Ha (RedEye) WBBM-TV news director Jeff Kiernan, columnist/editor/host Carol Marin and WVON’s Cliff Kelley – it’s just that the old guard doesn’t know what’s going to happen and the new guard, represented only by Marcus and Ha, can’t predict the future of their industry.

Kids’ Club Letters provides an innovative approach to group psychotherapy for school-aged children who experience a range of social and emotional problems. A narrative therapy approach is adapted, taking the form of letters written by the therapist in the voice of a child who is asking for advice about interpersonal or emotional problems. The child in the letter is asking for guidance from the participants in the group. These letters were devised and written for the purpose of structuring responses in group psychotherapy, allowing the participants to address relevant issues for them individually and at the group level. The children in the groups had previously experienced difficulty discussing these issues spontaneously. Hence the ‘Dear Group’ letter format was born. The children did not know that the therapist had written the letters.
