Malekoff (Program Development Director, North Shore Child and Family Guidance Center, New York) injects creativity and humor into his self-reflective approach to creating successful adolescent groups. Enlivened by actual illustrations from his own sessions, anecdotes and vignettes, the guide sets out the principles of group work and guidelines for working with adolescents, then considers primary topics and tools for planning, providing socialization opportunities, building group problem solving, promoting competence, and providing closure. The concluding discussions address important adolescent concerns such as violence, sexuality, substance abuse, cultural diversity, and isolation. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
