Summary

The classic work on group psychotherapy。
 

The Theory and Practice of Group Psychotherapy has been the standard text in the field for decades。 In this completely updated sixth edition, Dr。 Yalom and Dr。 Leszcz draw on a decade of new research as well as their broad clinical wisdom and expertise。 Each chapter is revised, reflecting the most recent developments in the field。 There are new sections throughout, including online group therapy, modern analytic and relational approaches, interpersonal neurobiology, measurement-based care, culture and diversity, psychological trauma, and group therapy tailored for a range of clinical populations。 At once scholarly and lively, this is the most up-to-date, incisive, and comprehensive text available on the practice of group psychotherapy。

An incredibly comprehensive textbook that reads like a novel。 If you're not sold on group therapy, let Yalom convince you it's the best you can do for your clients or for yourself as a client。 Glad I bought my own copy instead of renting because I will come back to it。 An incredibly comprehensive textbook that reads like a novel。 If you're not sold on group therapy, let Yalom convince you it's the best you can do for your clients or for yourself as a client。 Glad I bought my own copy instead of renting because I will come back to it。 。。。more

Wow! I can't believe I made it through the whole thing! This is a real tour de force。 Such a comprehensive book on so many aspects of group therapy。 I'm not planning to ever lead a therapy group but Yalom's analysis of group dynamics is just so endlessly fascinating and so enlightening。 I found so much to relate to and think about, regarding myself and others in group dynamics。There were times, don't get me wrong, when I wished that his editor had reigned him in a bit。 And some words I had to lo Wow!

This book made me want to do group therapy, both as a participant and as a therapist。

The definitive group therapy textbook!

Very in-depth and inclusive study and research on group therapy。 Learned a lot and opened my eyes to the necessary work involved in group therapy without bias。

This was the text used for my master's level group therapy course at an Ivy League Univ。 Overall, Yalom is insightful and provides a solid foundation of how to facilitate and process groups, however, it is far too lengthy and overdone。 This book is traditionally Yalom, as in he writes continuously when the context could have been so much more concise and digestible。 I took away appropriate knowledge, but truly despised the form in which it was written。 This was the text used for my master's level group therapy course at an Ivy League Univ。 Overall, Yalom is insightful and provides a solid foundation of how to facilitate and process groups, however, it is far too lengthy and overdone。 This book is traditionally Yalom, as in he writes continuously when the context could have been so much more concise and digestible。 I took away appropriate knowledge, but truly despised the form in which it was written。 。。。more

Yalom writes with detail and clarity。 I appreciate that he explains each thought and idea fully, breaking each concept down into its component parts。 His theory and practice of group psychotherapy is the industry standard。 I will definitely be returning to and re-reading his work over the years。

Megan

Actually my second time reading this。 While this was consistently overly verbose, it was beautifully interwoven theory and case examples。 Foundational for any clinician who leads group therapy。

Joshua

A very excellent book on the subject of group therapy。 I am glad I read it。

Kylee Kowalski

The bible of group therapy practice。

Laura

Perhaps the most meaningful book I’ve read this year。 Yalom is definitely an expert on groups。 A joy to read in combination with the The Schopenhauer Cure。

Courtney Moeller

A great book for mental health professionals on the practice of group therapy

Thi

love it

Alex

For those in the mental health field, it is a great resource for group therapy。 Otherwise, it could be a little dry at times。

Gökhan

İlgilileri için oldukça kapsamlı bir kaynak。

Adam

It’s a good book。 But let’s be honest it’s a _dense_ book。 I’ve read it twice now approximately 12 years between readings, once as a grad student and once most recently as an adjunct, and the verbosity remains as true today as the day I first picked it up。 Despite being published in 2005 the book is still applicable to the field and is a great resource

Candace Marshall

There are more concise books on group therapy available but still a good resource book。

Ypatios Varelas

Κορυφαίο βιβλίο για ψυχοθεραπευτές και διαχειριστές ομάδων θεραπείας。 Απαραίτητο θα έλεγα。 Εξειδικευμένο βιβλίο ακατάλληλο για το ευρύ κοινό που απλώς αναζητά λεπτομέρειες για να κατανοήσει την ομαδική ψυχοθεραπεία και πώς γίνεται。

O carte excelenta despre terapia de grup, acoperita cu rezultate din cercetari。 Contine multe raspunsuri la intrebari tipice pe care un incepator le poate avea in legatura cu organizarea de astfel de grupuri。

I appreciated this book(: Gotta have patience due to it's length, but I feel so much better equipped to lead groups in part because of this book。 Definitely had an attitude change after the first few chapters of my initial dread。 I appreciated this book(: Gotta have patience due to it's length, but I feel so much better equipped to lead groups in part because of this book。 Definitely had an attitude change after the first few chapters of my initial dread。 。。。more

amazing how he can make a text book feel like a novel!

A solid reference for academic papers。 Focuses on the processes, theory, and application of group therapy/work。 Dense, but solid and helpful points。

I am still working on getting through this and am enjoying it immensely。 Yet at times it is not clear who the audience is (a beginner psychotherapist or an intermediate psychotherapist or an advanced practitioner?)。 At times I believe it could have been simplified or perhaps changed into two separate books for separate audiences, one at a basic level and one at an advanced level。 At the same time it contains a wealth of information, research findings and practical guidance about how to run a psy I am still working on getting through this and am enjoying it immensely。 Yet at times it is not clear who the audience is (a beginner psychotherapist or an intermediate psychotherapist or an advanced practitioner?)。 At times I believe it could have been simplified or perhaps changed into two separate books for separate audiences, one at a basic level and one at an advanced level。 At the same time it contains a wealth of information, research findings and practical guidance about how to run a psychotherapy group。 Given that I am not a psychotherapist, why do I like this? I guess it's because I like insight into the mystery of how psychological healing occurs in a practical way and how people tick。 This book goes into those things deeply。 If you decide to read this, expect it to take awhile to get through。 I'm not finding it an easy read in parts and it is very thought provoking。 Perhaps it is a book to read a chapter here and there, rather than continuously。 。。。more
