Recensioner i media

What a great addition to the counselling toolkit! At last, a book that not only recognizes the therapeutic value of exploring one’s family history, but also provides detailed instructions to mental health practitioners for how to conduct these explorations in group settings. In clear and accessible language, the authors explain their ‘Legacy Model’ approach to wellness, sensitively employing case material to illustrate how it works. Their approach, while designed for older adults, could be adapted for any age group. Highly recommended.-Susan Moore, PhD, Emeritus Professor, Swinburne University of Technology, Australia.Bacon, Anderson & Boiros have crafted a comprehensive text for group workers using the Legacy Model to enhance psychological wellness with veterans and older adults. The authors offer useful examples of project ideas, moving memoirs and multiple resources for clinicians. A great contribution to group work!-Ana Puig, PhD, Professor, University of Florida and Past-President of the Association for Specialists in Group Work
