Group Dynamics in Occupational Therapy: Theoretical Basis and Practice Application of Group Intervention, Fifth Edition by Marilyn B. Cole provides an updated, client-centered guide to designing and leading effective occupational therapy groups. Aligned with the AOTA’s Occupational Therapy Practice Framework, Third Edition, this edition integrates theory-based approaches, occupation-focused models, and frames of reference to guide group activities, goals, and outcomes. New content includes evidence-based examples, a chapter on recovery and trauma-informed care, and updated practice settings. Cole’s 7-step group leadership model offers a practical framework for students and clinicians to develop skills in group facilitation, self-reflection, cultural competence, and community service learning, supported by online faculty resources.
