A Primer of Group Psychotherapy

Richly illustrated with case studies, this text explores the fundamental issues and techniques of group psychotherapy from a theoretical as well as practical perspective. In a simple clearly articulated straightforward style, the author provides a coherent theory of the process and content of the therapeutic group, and describes, in concrete terms, the role and tasks of the leader. The book systematically covers every phase of treatment - choosing members, contracts and initial sessions, the dynamics of therapy, and termination.
