"An inspiring and creatively stimulating DVD about group therapy for adolescents. It is a layered teaching on many facets of the work, and I will definitely return to it multiple times as I seek to integrate the facilitators' wisdom into my own group work with teens."
-- Jordan Wolfe, MFT intern, San Francisco, CA
"This training video has a good handle on the hows and whys of psycho-educational groups with adolescents from understanding the developmental and interpersonal needs of teens, to appropriate goal setting and pre-group planning. They utilize some of the best metaphors I've heard, for example, when explaining the need for norms or ground rules, they compare it to the the rules at a swimming pool and have the members come up with their own version of safety. I recommend it as a teaching tool."
-- Linda G Rose, LCSW, Adjunct Faculty at the Wright Institute, Group Therapy Trainer, San Francisco, CA
"A highlight of this DVD is that it goes beyond teaching the fundamentals of psycho-educational groups and demonstrates how metaphor, imagery, poetry and movement can be integrated into the group process to establish a group container and foster development of group cohesion. Drs. DeLucia-Waack and Segrist have created an excellent teaching tool that serves as an invaluable resource for mental health professionals, school counselors and all the agencies who offer groups for teens. Highly recommended!"

"A hands-on, very helpful look at what it's like to work with adolescents in a group setting. The activities are practical and engaging--what a great map for helping this vulnerable age group deal with their longing and fears around connection and acceptance!"
