"""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, 5/1/2007ƒƒAny 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, 6/1/2005ƒƒThe 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"
