Reviews

“The quintessential book in the field of group work. It covers all of the main ideas and pragmatic methods that anyone leading a group of any kind must master before beginning such a task. Yalom, with Leszcz, has digested and molded the latest research in the field, along with classic studies, into an enjoyable and enlightening reading experience. The reader will discover the core mechanisms necessary for change to occur in groups. In addition, ways of dealing with difficult group members and means of accomplishing basic tasks are laid out. This volume is both rich in language and deep in practice.”
— Samuel T. Gladding, Ph.D., President, American Counseling Association (2004-2005)

“Yalom and Leszcz masterfully apply their interpersonal approach to a wide range of contemporary topics, and group therapies that are not addressed in previous editions. What is remarkable is the smooth integration of vivid case examples, logically derived clinical knowledge, and up-to-date research findings. The fifth edition of this classic text represents compelling and informative reading for trainees and group therapists of all experience levels.”
— William E. Piper, Ph.D., Director, Psychotherapy Program, Department of Psychiatry, University of British Columbia
