Description
Group-Analytic Psychotherapy: A Meeting of Minds by Harold Behr and Liesel Hearst offers a comprehensive account of group analysis, demystifying the workings of analytic groups for practitioners, teachers, and students. This detailed guide covers key stages in the process, including assessment and preparation, dynamic administration, and managing challenging scenarios such as dropping out or silent members. The book provides clear guidelines on how to manage common psychiatric conditions in a group context, as well as insights into the processes that constitute the analytic culture, including dream analysis, interpretation, and the use of transference and countertransference. The authors also explore the historical, social, and cultural origins of group analysis, offering a vision for its future development. With this book, you'll gain a deeper understanding of group analytic psychotherapy and how to apply its principles in practice.
