Group Dynamics in Occupational Therapy: The Theoretical Basis and Practice Application of Group Intervention, Fifth Edition

Group Dynamics in Occupational Therapy is a comprehensive guide for occupational therapists looking to design and lead effective group interventions.

With a focus on theory-based groups, this text provides strategies and learning tools to enhance therapeutic interventions.

The updated edition reflects the AOTA's Occupational Therapy Practice Framework, Third Edition, and includes recent examples and evidence to support group design and leadership.

The book covers the design of group protocols and outlines a series of group experiences for students, including personal and professional growth, group leadership, self-reflection, cultural competence, and community service learning.

Additionally, a new chapter focuses on the recovery model and trauma-informed care, providing occupational therapists with the tools to design interventions within these approaches.

With Cole's 7-step format for occupational therapy group leadership, students can design and lead theory-based groups with confidence.
