This essential book for front-line clinicians offers new ways of conceptualizing the techniques of group therapy for use on acute wards. Yalom makes a strong case for the efficacy of group therapy on all acute wards. He discusses how to structure the session and the kind of support that should be offered. The emphasis is on the here-and-now. He then presents two models of groups: one for the higher functioning and one for the more regressed psychotic patients.

This review is from: Inpatient Group Psychotherapy (Hardcover)
Every time I pick up a Yalom book I ask myself why I have waited so long to read another one. His books are a pleasure to read and speak to people on all levels of experience and expertise. The title of this book says it all and is the perfect book for someone who will be working in an inpatient setting. This is a must-read for all professionals working with this population and speaks to the challenges and frustrations of this environment.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent group therapy book for inpatient settings,
By
This review is from: Inpatient Group Psychotherapy (Hardcover)
Yalom identifies the pros and cons of conducting group therapy in inpatient settings. He provides excellent advice about how to conduct group therapy in what is perceived by many to be a difficult setting in which to conduct group therapy. I refer to this book frequently and highly recommend it.
