Engage the Group, Engage the Brain
About this book
A comprehensive, evidenced-based collection of group activities for professionals in the field of addiction treatment.
Designed to creatively utilize the mind-body connection, these activities are engaging and fun, linked with evidence-based interventions and drawn on emerging brain research, providing a window into reaching clients who may be resistant to traditional talk therapy.
This book uses a variety of approaches including multisensory, art therapy, novelty enrichment, mindfulness, therapeutic movement, and brain resilience theory to help build both insight and skills. Each activity includes a list of materials needed, the objectives, directions, brief observations, and reproducible handouts.
By doing tasks that stimulate a balanced variety of areas in the brain, the pathway to recovery may be enhanced. The authors present a model for healing from addiction that is designed for clients to take with them and use to support their ongoing recovery.
