Workshop 55
Turning Teenage Troublemakers into Cooperative Group Members

 

Chair:              

Elizabeth Olson, M.S.W., Private Practice, Boulder, Colorado

 

This presentation will focus on the difficulties encountered by group leaders working with reluctant adolescent group members. Through the use of a didactic presentation based in Modern Analytic theory  and experiential group exercises, participants will learn to create a cooperative and lively working adolescent group. Learning to work effectively with resistance and aggression will be the primary focus of this presentation.
