Group Psychotherapy with Addicted Populations: An Experiential Manual is an innovative approach to training clinicians in the practice of group psychotherapy for addicted individuals and their family members, ideally to be used in conjunction with Group Psychotherapy with Addicted Populations: An Integration of Theory and Practice.

While previous books and articles are limited to describing how group psychotherapy works, this experiential manual demonstrates the practice of group psychotherapy by combining both online and hard copy materials. This manual also offers researchers in group psychotherapy objectively verifiable data on which to construct treatment models for the addicted population.

Complete with over 70 hours of clinical data, this manual and its online components offer an entirely new approach to working with addicted populations and their families, as well as psychotherapy groups.
