Description
How does a therapist go about starting a psychotherapy group? In this practical guide the reader finds the elements, both attitudinal
and procedural, needed for starting a therapy group. The processes of obtaining referrals, selecting clients, orienting and educating
clients, and preparing clients for psychotherapy are covered in clear step-by-step procedures. Tables and charts are provided for the
necessary record keeping. The initial chapters detail the important stages leading up to the first therapy session. Eminent group therapists
present special chapters on various therapeutic approaches. The topics of terminating groups and the role of the therapist close this
pragmatic guide to therapy groups.
A Guide to Starting Psychotherapy Groups assists psychologists, social workers,
psychiatrists, nurse clinicians, pastoral counselors, school and college counselors and other trained therapists in the process of forming
and maintaining groups.
