"Working in groups is crucial at this time. This book, unlike others, is designed to guide both experienced professionals, who develop sessions in new contexts, and young therapists, who need contrasting experiences to support their role in theoretical and action issues. It has a modern format with case studies from different perspectives and techniques. It includes an epistemological vision that addresses history, principles and methods in a network of contributions that shape the heart of group psychotherapy." Cristina MartÃnez-Taboada, PhD, IAGP, SEPTG, APAG; Professor of Psychology of Groups and Social Psychology, University of the Basque Country, EHU, Spain "This 3rd edition impressively covers current group psychotherapy theory and practice. The author describes the basic principles of group therapy and, via two case studies, presents and compares a number of different theoretical approaches. More advanced topics are included in chapters on negative group therapy experiences, group therapy as a specialty, and online groups. This book is packed with useful information for both beginning and more senior group therapists.
