"Once again, Yalom and Leszcz have hit it out of the park. The
breadth and depth of the research covered is truly impressive.
However, it's the remarkably engaging writing style that seamlessly
weaves these empirically informed group psychotherapy principles
within an interpersonal framework that makes this book a
one-of-a-kind classic. The instructive and compelling clinical
examples support beginning therapists, while the contemporary group
interventions invites the experienced group leader into new
territory."--Gary Burlingame, professor and chair of psychology,
Brigham Young University
"Reading this eagerly awaited 6th edition of what is truly a
classic in the field is like returning home after a time away: the
comforting feeling of revisiting familiar tried-and-true notions
intermingled with the excitement of new discoveries and
developments in the field. This volume, like its predecessors,
speaks so clearly to the group therapist, novice, and expert alike,
in experience-near, clinician-friendly language, making the group
experience come alive in the mind. It represents the state of the
art of group therapy today."--Les R. Greene, distinguished life
fellow, American Group Psychotherapy Association
"The authors of the 6th edition of The Theory and Practice of Group
Psychotherapy do an excellent job of presenting the art and science
of leading psychotherapy groups. The material is suitable for
mental health professionals across disciplines who want to build
their knowledge and expertise for leading psychotherapy groups.
This is an essential resource for learning and enhancing group
leadership skills for all types of groups."--Nina W. Brown,
professor and eminent scholar, Old Dominion University
"The partnership between Yalom and Leszcz brings new originality to
a text that-like no other-has already shaped the field that it
helped to spawn fifty years ago. Grounded in current scholarship,
their further development of the interpersonal model-wide-ranging
and comprehensive-gives this book renewed standing for therapists
of all orientations-a lasting treasure for practitioners and
teachers alike."--John Schlapobersky, author of from The Couch to
The Circle: Group-Analytic Psychotherapy in Practice
"This book is a real classic. In view of an increasing acceptance
of group psychotherapy within health systems of different
countries, this recent edition is a truly essential help for
clinicians and excellently bridges research results and clinical
wisdom. It updates theory and practice issues of groups that
meanwhile have supported generations of group
psychotherapists."--Bernhard Strauss, University of Jena,
Germany
"This new edition affords us the treasured opportunity to benefit
from the wisdom and expertise of the phenomenal partnership of Irv
Yalom and Molyn Leszcz. This work retains the strengths of past
editions in terms of invaluable clinical insights and case
examples, but introduces new material that enhances this edition.
In response to the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, they
have included a chapter on online groups. I look forward to sharing
this updated edition and valued resource that is informed by recent
research findings with my students and colleagues!"--Alexis D.
Abernethy, professor of psychology, Fuller Seminary
