Product Description

Hailed by Jerome Frank as the best book that exists on the subject, today and for the foreseeable future, Irvin D. Yaloms The Theory and Practice of Group Psychotherapy has long been the standard text in its field. Indeed, in a survey reported in the American Journal of Psychiatry, it was cited as one of the ten most influential psychiatry publications of the past decade, and it was one of the very few judged to be of seminal or lasting value. }Hailed by Jerome Frank as the best book that exists on the subject, today and for the foreseeable future, Irvin D. Yaloms The Theory and Practice of Group Psychotherapy has long been the standard text in its field. Indeed, in a survey reported in the American Journal of Psychiatry, it was cited as one of the ten most influential psychiatry publications of the past decade, and it was one of the very few judged to be of seminal or lasting value.In this completely revised and expanded fourth editionupdated to reflect the American Psychiatric Associations latest diagnostic manual, the DSM-IVDr. Yalom presents the most recent developments in the field, drawing on nearly a decade of new research as well as his own broad clinical wisdom and experience. This edition features new sections on combining individual and group therapy, the latest information about brief group therapy, and how to modify group work to deal with the newly emerging homogeneous focal groups (including survivor groups), as well as updated references and new clinical vignettes drawn from the authors recent practice.Throughout, Dr. Yalom has updated the style and content of the chapters, while retaining valid research and clinical observations. Illustrating the text are vivid cases from nearly two thousand group sessions that he has led over the past decade. The Theory and Practice of Group Psychotherapy is an informative text that is at once scholarly and lively. This new edition is the most up-to-date, incisive, and comprehensive text on group therapy available today. }

This book is absolutely THE BEST!!! An absolute must for anyone working with groups in a support/theraputic role. When I lent it to my colleague she was blown away and has now got her own copy.

5.0 out of 5 stars A truly essential read, 19 July 2009

Paul Robeson (Northern Ireland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Theory and Practice of Group Psychotherapy (Hardcover)

This book has such a monumental reputation and has been previously reviewed by so many notable figures in the world of psychotherapy, I feel I can add very little. I merely wish to add my view that this book is an essential and inspiring resource for all therapists who have an interest in the practice of group psychotherapy and human dynamics in general

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent and readable, 20 May 2011

PJ (Harrow) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Theory and Practice of Group Psychotherapy (Hardcover)

I bought this book in preparation for a course on Group Psychotherapy run by a respected counselling organisation which recommended it as pre-course reading matter. It's a big book (nearly 600 pages),and I've only read the first 65 or so, but I've already gained a lot from it.

I'm probably helped in finding it readable by (1)having done an introductory course in counselling; (2) having worked in the office of a counselling organisation. I haven't yet done counselling work myself.

The edition is 2005, so it's not super new; but there's a lot of experience in there, and the cover shows very good reviews.
