Social Skills and Mental Health

In the 10 years or so prior to original publication in 1978 new theories and discoveries in the social sciences had given a scientific basis and new impetus to the development of social skills training as a form of therapy. This book explores the progress made with this idea and gives practical guidance for therapists based on several years¿ experience with the technique.Now considered a classic in its field, this title was an important milestone in the development of what has subsequently become a well-established intervention, but was at the time totally new and innovative.
