Group Psychotherapy: Practice and Development

An outstanding contribution to group development theory and its impact on practice! This highly readable work analyzes in a clear, organized manner the dynamics of group formation and development and its impact on the individual members and group therapist. The individual, the sub-group, and the group-as-a-whole issues that characterize each stage of the therapeutic process are clearly presented. In presenting these issues, the author offers valuable practical suggestions and guides for therapeutic interventions that never lose sight of the individual member's needs, conflicts, and aspirations.
