Mark Lundholm’s long-awaited Doing Good Group distills over 25 years of working with substance use disorder populations in clinical, self-help, incarceration, and similar settings. Mark’s work combines practical, real-world experiences with time-tested practical tools and techniques.

Working in dozens of treatment centers, facilitating hundreds of groups each year, Mark has developed many unique approaches that are especially helpful with challenging clients, including those who are resistant, those with multiple relapses, difficulty managing triggers and impulsive behavior, and difficulty with interpersonal communication problems. 

Doing Good Group will be equally helpful to experienced, seasoned counselors as well as newer counselors. Filled with practical “shortcuts”, helpful exercises you can do with the group, techniques for managing difficult group members, and strategies for better client engagement, it’s a toolbox you’ll find yourself going back to repeatedly.
