Additional Information
The book draws on both John Schlapobersky’s engagement as a practitioner and the words and experience of people in groups as they face psychotherapy’s key challenges - understanding and change. It is aimed at practitioners using groups of any kind and working at every level, including those providing supportive psychotherapy and groups for psychosis, trauma, the elderly, people at risk, and children. The Group-Analytic Model defines the group-analytic model at a basic and advanced level, aimed at group analysts, psychotherapists, and psychologists providing short-term psychotherapy and long-term group analysis.
