Group Process and Practice with Chemically Dependent Populations

X144 (1 semester unit in Public Health)

Group interventions continue to be a major strategy to treat addictions. They are increasingly considered a cost-effective intervention, based on a growing body of knowledge about best practices. The purpose of this course is to give you an understanding of group process and dynamics in treating chemically dependent adults. You cover the theory behind group work, types of groups, how to select patients, how to be a group leader, and methods appropriate to two types of groups—the transitional (open) group and the closed group. Structured time is given to practice in small groups.
