A Workbook of Group-Analytic Interventions

Abstract

A Workbook of Group-Analytic Interventions is designed to complement the academic and experiential training of therapists. Written by experienced practitioners, it gives trainees a practical insight into the ways in which group analysts may tackle difficult situations, allowing them to understand more fully the nature of intervention right from the beginning of their training. Eight situations drawn from real psychotherapy groups are presented in detail so that readers may exercise their own skills in making decisions and judging appropriate interventions. Each situation is then analyzed in depth by one of the authors, who describes and comments on the thinking behind the interventions suggested by a panel of group analysts. This book gives the trainee a wide and informed appreciation of different situations arising in groups and appropriate ways of handling them. It provides an excellent base from which to start to practice. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
