The Theory and Practice of Group Psychotherapy 6th Edition

So well written and organized and very persuasive about what can be accomplished in group therapy. It’s effective on me has been a game changer in the ease with which I can communicate with colleagues and clients about my field.

Very informative book. Goes through the therapeautic factors that support a group, (eg, instillation of hope, universality, ect), the interpersonal element within the group such as relationships, emotional experience, behavioral patterns, transference; group cohesiveness, creating and maintaining a group, working on tasks in present time, transference, selecting clients and composing groups, the beginning stages of a group, and advanced group, challenging group members, specialized formats and procedural aids, online psychoterapy groups, specialized therapy groups, and training the group therapist.

It is very long, but Dr Yalom is great at providing examples and stories that show the many ways a counselor can be flexible and creative to achieve results

Great for clinicians.

nice easy to follow directions and instructions in running a successful group. returned it today

Since they stopped renting their books, there probably selling most if them. So not a big fan of the giant sticker. But besides that the book was nicely kept and there was no writing within it.

This was required for my group therapy course and although I am not always a fan, this book covered every possible scenario in a group setting, it opened my eyes for tools to use to make the group run smoother.

Yalom is a classic, this book is essential. Yes, he is wordy and tells the same stories, but this man has revolutionized psychiatry, infusing human decency and vulnerability. If you are assigned this book, READ IT! Yes I know it’s long, but you’ll be a better person
