ABSTRACT
First published in 1992. This book is based on experiences of the author from working with multifamily groups for parents and adolescents, in and out-patient clinics and juvenile court programs over a four year period. It covers a program that eventually evolved into 15 sessions covering three main topic areas: (1) perceiving each other (social perception), (2) communicating effectively, and (3) recognizing behavior as a function of its consequence.
