Social Skills and Mental Health - Paperback

by Peter Trower (Author), Bridget Bryant (Author), Michael Argyle (Author)

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.
