This was a very helpful manual for Group Therapy. It was a little lengthy in spots, but I would recommend it for anyone interested in improving their skills as a group counselor.

Theory and Practice of Group Psychotherapy August 5, 2008
Yalom did a superb job in taking his readers through the process- the world of group psychotherapy. I especially appreciate reading about the cases to see how the theories actually came together. I have learned so much from a pro!

The BIBLE of group therapy texts! June 7, 2008
Plain and simple, Yalom's seminal text on group therapy is a MUST for anyone wishing to perform therapy in this format. While he comes from a Gestalt standpoint, I feel he remains fairly objective in both his recommendations and observations from his experience. He does a good job at incorporating the latest research to back up his viewpoints as well. His examples are clear and thought-provoking, and he spells out everything in an easy to understand manner. He himself has said that he's more of a writer than a psychologist (and I believe him after seeing his therapy videos!). I learned so much from this book that I don't know where to begin. With every sentence came an "a ha" moment for me! *Note: Keep a highlighter in hand while you read.* Even though its breadth is fairly daunting (with almost 700 pages), Theory & Practice is WELL worth the read....and re-read. I've referred to it repeatedly throughout my experience running groups. Can't recommend this one highly enough.
