As group therapy reaches its 100th anniversary and as we simultaneously approach the next century, this text looks back on the past and present developments and identifies future trends. The emphasis of this text is to understand the advances which have taken place in group treatment over the years, regardless of what historical events created or influenced them, and to focus on what the clinical and research data has identified as reputable and beneficial forms of group psychotherapy. As the book's title implies, the primary concern is pragmatic and is geared to students and practioners of group therapy who wish to advance their existing base of knowledge and to enhance and broaden their leadership skills. In order to accomplish this goal, the text is designed to provide a brief historical context against which one can compare and contrast contemporary group methods and identify long-standing trends in the group field. This is followed by an overview of the basic principles of group treatment with specific reference to leadership and membership issues involved in clinical decision making and choice of group interventions selected.

This review is from: A Pragamatic Approach To Group Psychotherapy (Paperback)
This book was lacking some NEW vital and exciting techniques for enhancing the group therpay experience. It was very informative but I was looking for more and it was simply not there.
