Description
Introduction to Time-Limited Group Psychotherapy is
a basic text designed for the clinician who already has experience in
individual psychotherapy. However, the breadth of perspective and discussion
of therapeutic strategies should be of value to the more experienced
psychotherapist as well.
The book is divided into four sections.
* Section One deals with basic concepts regarding the small
group. This section should aid the therapist in accurately recognizing group
phenomena.
* Section Two presents the applications of the
theories concerning time-limited group psychotherapy in a clinical setting.
It emphasizes the importance of careful diagnostic and interpersonal
assessment, group composition considerations, and pretherapy preparation in
ensuring that a sense of "groupness" will emerge promptly.
* Section
Three shows how to use the emerging relationships among group
members as the vehicle to manage individual issues. In both Sections Two and
Three, the current literature concerning brief individual therapy is applied
to the group context.
* Section Four offers guidelines for
integrating group psychotherapy into service and training programs. Special
consideration is given to inpatient groups and long-term support groups.
