ROSE, Sheldon D. Thousand Oaks, CA: Sage, 1998. 499pp. (h, p).

This book offers practical strategies for treating adolescents in a variety of group settings. Rose incorporates cognitive, behavioral, and social resources along with small group theory into one model and presents a general overview of group work and related issues. He then leads the reader directly into assessment, intervention, and treatment and concludes with specific applications, as well as chapters on training and research issues. Throughout, he addresses such questions as how to deal with disruptive youth in a group session, how to use the group itself to develop home tasks, how to increase the attraction of the group, how to formulate goals so they can be achieved, how to employ a range of procedures in the group to achieve these goals, how to involve youth in their own therapy, how to assist youth in helping others in the group, and how to coordinate family therapy and group therapy.
