The Theory and Practice of Group Psychotherapy

Zu diesem Lehrbuch

In the five years and eleven printings since its publication in 1970, "The Theory and Practice of Group Psychotherapy" has become the standard text in group psychotherapy for psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, counselors, and all those connected with this ever-increasing, and sometimes mystifying, field of mental health.

"A book that can be recommended without reservation to students, re-searchers, and practitioners in the field of group therapy"

"One of the best books on group therapy  available at the present time (...) Yalom's comments are based on a great deal of clinical experience and a rich understanding of the dynamic factors involved."

The Psychoanalytic Quaterly

In this newly revised and updated second edition which has been expanded by 135 new pages, Dr. Yalom has once again distilled his years of practical experience as a group psycho-therapist and his knowledge of the scientific basis of group therapy into a simple clear, and remarkably wise text. Two chapters - one dealing with the tasks and techniques of the therapist, and the other with transference and transparency - have been completely re-written and expanded; and a thorough, broader discussion and appraisal of the characteristics, techniques - and effects - of encounter groups has been added.

Dr. Yalom has included an ample number of concrete, illustrative case examples which will be of special value to the group therapist trainee. And all students, teachers, and practitioners of group therapy will benefit from the author's introduction of a number of new psychotherapeutic concepts and his pioneering, lucid section on existential factors in group psychotherapy.
