New CIP Co-Director Bobbi Beale, PsyD, has co-authored a new book, entitled “Adventure Group Psychotherapy: An Experiential Approach to Treatment,” which explores what is necessary for an experiential therapy group to function effectively, and the practical skills needed to inspire success.
The authors describe how to use activities in a manner that produces the greatest opportunity for clients to reach their goals. Issues such as how to actively assess client functioning in the group, how to select the appropriate activity, how to shape an effective environment, and how to help clients process their experience are a few of the aspects examined to help clients move toward their goals. The practical skills the authors describe enable readers to immediately learn and apply their practice with groups.
This book will be an important tool in any group therapy class, in practice settings to train practitioners, and for any clinician trying to expand their group work capabilities.
In addition to her work with the CIP, Bobbi is the CEO of Life Adventures for All, dedicated to supporting vulnerable populations with adventure therapy, and senior research associate, trainer, and consultant for the Center of Innovative Practices at Case Western Reserve University.
