Many persons arrested for DUI offenses have been arrested for similar offenses in the past and have chronic alcohol-related problems in other aspects of their lives. Mandatory group counseling is a viable treatment alternative through which they can reduce the likelihood of recidivism while also developing more constructive strategies for dealing with other problems in their lives. In group counseling which uses the anger of involuntary clients, the counselor's acceptance of client anger initiates a bonding which strengthens the client's motivation to and tolerance of introspection and change. This article describes a model for conducting an involuntary court-referred DUI group, unique dynamics of the group and specific techniques required of the group leader. This counseling is based on a strengths perspective which recognizes the resourcefulness and supports the autonomy of the client. The model is illustrated using the authors' experience, supported with theory from the literature. References
