Inpatient Group Psychotherapy

“Dr. Yalom has once again found the right subject and handled it in his usual thorough, readable, exciting style. He is an advocate for hospital group therapy who speaks from long and direct experience. Dr. Yalom has written an eminently practical guide to what works, generously spiced with examples of patient-therapist interchanges, which ring true to life. His methods are interpersonal and especially tailored to short-term work in tumultuous, high-volume settings.”—Marc Hertzman, M.D., Director of Inpatient Services, George Washington University Medical Center

“Like Dr. Yalom’s Theory and Practice of Group Psychotherapy, this book is destined to be the standard text for inpatient group therapy. A rational, relevant, and timely manual closely attuned to the new realities of the clinical practice of inpatient group therapy within the context of the changes occurring in the psychiatric hospital of the 1980s. Necessary reading for all those referring or treating inpatients.”—Ira D. Glick, MD, professor of psychiatry, Cornell University Medical Center
