A new way to explore group psychotherapy with addicted populations

Jeffrey Roth, Barney Straus and Katie Washington Cole have collaborated to present a dynamic new resource for group therapists.

The new companion manual to 2023’s Group Psychotherapy with Addicted Populations includes links to recordings of two 20-session, 30-hour online group therapy cohorts so readers can experience the book’s techniques in action - the first multi-media manual of its kind.

By combining the manual with real-life experiential learning, this innovative approach helps transition interventions from theory to useful tools therapists can immediately put to work in their own practice.
