Summary "Children who are labeled at-risk often suffer from severe deficiencies in cognitive, affective, and behavioral skills that, if unaddressed, may lead to limited prospects for future success and well-being. Tapping into the therapeutic potential of groups, this volume presents the theory and practice of cognitive-oriented group-centered counseling 7F 13 combining intrinsic motivation, efficacy retraining, and targeted play therapy and social role-playing 7F 13 that can be implemented to help children build core social skills and emotional regulation to complement their classroom instruction." -- Publisher's website
