The Theory and Practice of Group Psychotherapy

The founder of existential group therapy. Heavy read, but worth it.

Dr. Yalom's book is not only a veritable masterpiece, but a tour de force that deals with everything you ever wanted to know about group psychotherapy.Comprehensive without being pedantic, thorough without being dense, Dr. Yalom puts the group process under a magnifying glass and, in straightforward easy-to-understand language and conceptualization, gently guides the student through all of the subtlties and nuances of group work.I had to purchase this book for use as the main text in a group process course, but this book will remain on my shelf long after I have taken the course. Dr. Yalom's keen insight into not just how/why groups behave and function the way they do, but also his insight into basic human nature, has made this book very enjoyable as well as educational.

This is an incredibly well written book. It is clear, has great examples, and shows an incredible amount of experience.The only flaw...I am not sure where Yalom got a group role called "the homosexual" from...

Love this class and good book but slighly dry. However, do to my instructor he made the materials very interesting to learn and understand.

a must have for group therapy

Book arrived as promised

great condition, great book for group therapy, Yalom is one of the foremost writters on this topic.

Thank you.

A very good book. Written in a clear and accessible style, easy to read, well referenced, academic without being dry, boring or pretentious. For my money it's Yalom's best work.

Just what I need for refreshing my Group Therapy practice.

Thank you
