Groups: Applying the Functional Group Model

Three noted researchers, instructors, and clinicians bring you a classroom tested, evidence-based, client-centered approach to working with groups based on The Functional Group Model, an authoritative, well-documented conceptual theory.Drawing on the most current research in the field, they have constructed a step-by-step process that prepares Occupational Therapists and other professionals to meet the many challenges of designing, leading, and concluding functional groups, as well as documenting individual progress.Three case studies represent the different types of groups that therapists may encounter-open group, closed group, and community-based group. A wealth of pedagogical tools make learning and practice easier.
