The authoritative presentation of social skills training (SST)--a highly effective, recovery-oriented intervention for people with serious mental illness--the third edition of this complete manual has been significantly revised with over 60% new material. SST can be implemented by a range of providers in diverse clinical and community settings. In a convenient large-size format, the book is packed with practical tools, including clinical vignettes, dialogues, reproducible curricula (Skill Sheets) for 84 skills, guidance for selecting skills to teach based on participants' needs, and tips for overcoming roadblocks. Purchasers get access to a companion website with downloadable copies of the Skill Sheets as well as online-only resources: 84 Social Skill Handouts for clients and 17 assessment forms and other tools for conducting SST groups.

New to This Edition
*Chapters on specific populations: SST with young people with high clinical risk or first-episode psychosis, older individuals, and those in residential or inpatient settings.
*Chapters on cultural factors in SST; gender, sexual identity, and sexual harassment; and technology-based communication.
*Three additional curricular areas--technology-based communication, school, and problem solving--for a total of 26 more skills than the prior edition.
*Many new reproducible and downloadable tools.

Industry Reviews

"Improving the social skills of people with schizophrenia has tremendous implications for long-term prognosis. Previous editions of this book have been my 'go to' for teaching social skills in my own clinical work and for recommendation to students and colleagues. The third edition extends the principles of SST to a variety of new populations, such as individuals with first-episode psychosis; has important coverage of technology-based communication; and addresses ways to adapt SST depending on clients' race, gender, and sexual identity, in order to make these skills more accessible to all. This book remains the resource on SST."--David Lewis Penn, PhD, Department of Psychiatry, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill-This book should be required reading for all those involved in the comprehensive treatment and rehabilitation of individuals with schizophrenia. We recommend it highly. (on the second edition)--Journal of Clinical Psychiatry, 5/1/2007??Any clinician, regardless of experience level, who is interested in providing social skills training to individuals with schizophrenia-or to their families-will find a wealth of practical, clinically and empirically sound information. (on the second edition)--Bulletin of the Menninger Clinic, 6/1/2005??The authors provide all the necessary ingredients for implementing state-of-the-art social skills training as they focus on assessment, group leadership skills, and carrying out the group tasks with specific and well-designed curricula....This guide also serves as a textbook for students, enabling them to make giant leaps in their understanding of the nature and execution of evidence-based practices for individuals with persistent mental illness, making clinical experiences more rewarding for trainees and more precise for their supervisors. This instruction manual has the makings to become a classic reference book on the topic of social skills training. (on the second edition)--Community Mental Health Journal, 2/1/2006
