Motivational Groups for Community Substance Abuse Programs (available from Mid-ATTC for $18.00)

My own group leader materials, developed when I worked in the dual-diagnosis unit at Eastern Pennsylvania Psychiatric Institute.

Read the chapter on groups in Motivational Interviewing, Second Edition: Preparing People for Change by William R. Miller and Stephen Rollnick for a review of outcome studies and an excellent discussion of clinical considerations related to implementation

Most of these articles refer to substance abuse, but some include discussion of adapting MI for patients with schizophrenia. Also see Improving Treatment Compliance: Counseling and Systems Strategies for Substance Abuse and Dual Disorders by Dennis C. Daley and Allan Zuckoff
