Woody (psychology, University of Nebraska) provides professional educators and mental health practitioners with a theoretical basis for adopting and applying an integrative cognitive social-learning approach to group therapy. To clarify theory and technique, transcribed excerpts from an actual therapy group are included, and the author's comments about the communications, interactions, processes, and behaviors that occur in the group sessions explain theory and techniques. The book will be useful for professionals as well as graduate students in education and mental health. Annotation © 2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
