This program is aimed at clinicians, therapists, trainers, supervisors/managers of group programs as well as general health professionals and students preparing to use group therapy as a treatment modality. It provides an opportunity to observe the process and techniques of interactive group therapy for drug and alcohol dependent persons.

The purpose is to facilitate understanding and sensitivity to group process across cultures and to demonstrate the most important function of a group leader - directing the focus of the group through interventions that promote dynamic interaction.

Using a series of seven vignettes - 13 to 32 minutes each - easily manoeuverable via these DVDs - the program follows a group through their development from the Acquaintance Phase to the Working Phase. It details various forms of resistance that group leaders can expect to meet and offers guidelines to bring about optimal results.
