Mervelous June 27, 2008
A real masterpiece! Astonishingly comprehensive, most excellently and lucidly written,interesting, profound, convincing, frank and open-minded, and contains, in my opinion, the best of group thinking and pracice.

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.

Excellent book by a bright, astute gifted author and clinician June 6, 2008
I've read a lot of Yalom's work and have been fortunate enough to find material by his wife. As a counselor who has worked in the trenches for over 23 years I appreciate his perspective, knowledge, wisdom and insight.br /br /This book never fails to deliver. While this is a lengthy tome of material to digest, I've found that it reads like a novel and left me feeling more hopeful as I came away with more insights, more skills, and a deep appreciation for the work I do and Yalom's contribution to the field.br /br /I hope he continues to write.

Yalom Group Psychotherapy May 30, 2008
There is a newer edition but there was $45. difference-not work the extra. It's been a bible of group for my interns and myself, a psychiatric social worker with mentally ill offenders.

THE book for leading psychotherapeutic groups March 25, 2008
This book is simply the best there is for the novice as well as the experienced group leader. I plan on keeping it in my bookcase for years to come.
