The Process of Group Psychotherapy

Synopsis

"Understanding how and why group therapy works is the subject of The Process of Group Psychotherapy: Systems for Analyzing Change. This book describes nine current approaches to analyzing group process, then applies each system to a single group psychotherapy session. The theory, methodology, and empirical support associated with each system are summarized, tracing the evolution of this growing field to its current form. A comparison of the systems illuminates the clinically relevant insights provided by each approach and is designed to spur development of group therapy process research within the field of psychotherapy research. This provocative analysis has implications for theory building and research design, as well as applications in treatment and teaching."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
