Psychodynamic Group Psychotherapy

Now in a revised and expanded fourth edition, this widely adopted text and clinical reference covers the 'whats', 'whys' and 'how-tos' of setting up therapy groups and making them work. Coverage includes mechanisms and processes of change, patient selection, leadership issues, combining groups with other forms of treatment, and dealing with difficult patients. The fourth edition has been thoroughly updated with current clinical and conceptual developments. More examples have been added, and a user-friendly new chapter addresses frequently asked questions. One of the text's most popular features - a chapter-length case illustration with commentary from each author has been expanded with commentary from the new third author, Joseph J. Shay.
