DESCRIPTION:
Yalom writes fluently, knowledgeably, and with clarity and uncommon good sense." . "This is far and away the best book about group psychotherapy
Irvin D. He is the author of When Nietzche Wept (winner of the 1993 Commonwealth Club gold medal for fiction), Love's Executioner, Every Day Gets a Little Closer (with Ginny Elkin), and the classic textbooks Inpatient Group Psychotherapy and Existential Psychotherapy.. He was the recipient o
He then presents two models of groups: one for the higher functioning and one for the more regressed psychotic patients.. This essential book for front-line clinicians offers new ways of conceptualizing the techniques of group therapy for use on acute wards. He discusses how to structure the session and the kind of support that should be offered. The emphasis is on the here-and-now. Yalom makes a strong case for the efficacy of group therapy on all acute wards
Sarah MJM said Dated, but still helpful. This book was written ages ago, but it is still useful. I don't much care for the history of inpatient group therapy, but the examples and suggestions helped me understand that inpatient group is limited and is for the purpose of getting them used to groups after they discharge into an IOP program. This helped be become a better group therapist. I lent it to so many people at my work that I never ended up getting it back.. authentic and proficient towards human health Cristal clear, authentic, proficient, interpersonal aproach.I read the book 10 - 12 hours per day, almost without pause.Useful in all paradigms. The therapeutic factors are : instilation of hope,universality, imparting information, altruism, corrective recapitulation of thr primary family group. The comparative value of the clients'and therapists' views are very usefully presented.Working in the Here-and-Now, positive and negative catharsis ( with corrective interpretation),and the liaison with other books of profes. "Excellent and Useful Guide" according to Jordan Summer. Excellent as usual for Yalom: deeply self-conscious and self-confident in describing purely ethical, analytic techniques in inpatient group therapy. Tellingly, this was the only complete reference to inpatient group therapy that I could find. And to think of the commonality of group therapy practices on inpatient wards!
