| Summary: | "The subject of this book is the relatively new and rapidly developing field of group psychotherapy: its origins, methods, importance, and future. It was written to acquaint the layman and the specialist in allied fields with the nature of this form of treatment. Possibly, the book will also help some readers prepare for the reality of the experience. The book subordinates theoretical concepts and techniques to impressions of human beings working together. The author focuses primarily on the words and feelings of those who search for new meanings to old experiences and re-direct their lives through corrective relationships formed within the therapy circle. The author tries to give characteristic glimpses into the emotional development of clients by indicating how they appeared at various stages of the therapeutic relationship, both in individual and group therapy. The author also reveals what went through his own mind while he treated these clients"--Preface. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2013 APA, all rights reserved). |
