Psychotherapy: group Books

Book SynopsisThe leading guide to group-based cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) has now been significantly revised with 70% new material, reflecting over 15 years of research and clinical advances. Too often, CBT training resources treat groups as simply an extension of individual therapy. Filling an important need, this text helps students and practitioners build essential skills for leveraging group process to optimize outcomes. Featuring sample dialogues, clinical pointers, and troubleshooting tips, the book provides practical answers to group leaders' most pressing questions. Effective protocols for treating specific disorders are presented, with a focus on CBT techniques and group process factors unique to each type of group. New to This Edition *Chapters on inpatient groups and mindfulness-based CBT. *Chapters on additional disorders: posttraumatic stress disorder and borderline personality disorder. *Fully rewritten chapters on anxiety disorders, substance use Trade Review"Group CBT is similarly effective to individual CBT, but is more cost-effective and allows for more clients to be treated in a given period of time. Unfortunately, most evidence-based CBT protocols are developed for individual delivery, with only superficial instructions for how to deliver in groups. Bieling, McCabe, and Antony offer a much-needed corrective, expertly explaining how to set up and manage CBT groups for a range of presenting problems and disorders. A 'must have' for any clinician."--Peter J. Norton, PhD, School of Psychology, Counseling and Psychotherapy, Cairnmillar Institute, Melbourne, Australia "The majority of clinicians are still trained in doing CBT with individuals only, making this broad-ranging, comprehensive guide essential reading. The second edition has been revised throughout to include updates from the literature and to achieve the explicit aim of making the book more user friendly. Significant revisions reflect the latest advances in our understanding of the nature and treatment of psychological disorders, such as the merger of the various anxiety disorders into a single chapter, the incorporation of 'third-wave' approaches, and the chapter on transdiagnostic treatment in acute inpatient settings. This state-of-the-art book should be read by any clinician or student who wants to integrate CBT techniques with group process factors." --Simon A. Rego, PsyD, ABPP, Chief of Psychology, Montefiore Medical Center, Bronx, New York; Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, Albert Einstein College of Medicine-This is the book I would have liked to have been able to read when I started running CBT groups….A very valuable resource for professionals setting up and running CBT groups for a wide range of clients, as well as for professionals supervising CBT groups.

Book SynopsisThis comprehensive resource is designed for training those who work with, parent and care for children and young people who have experienced the damaging effects of abuse, neglect and disruption to the primary caregiver relationship. Presented as an 11-session group programme, the pack offers an accessible overview of the core concepts of developmental trauma, trauma-informed therapeutic care, and self-care for carers. Reading materials, video clips and skills exercises support and reinforce each area covered. The underpinning model is Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy (DDP), an approach which allows carers to get beyond the defences and blocked trust of children in their care using Playfulness, Acceptance, Curiosity and Empathy (pACE). By helping participants understand and respond to the impact of developmental trauma on children, the resource aims to help reduce the spiral of failed relationships suffered by many young people who have been removed from their birth families.Table of ContentsSESSION 1: Attachment is a survival strategy; It's a marathon not a sprint SESSION 2: Non-verbal communication; Connecting to calm SESSION 3: Name it to tame it SESSION 4: Acting not re-acting SESSION 5: Finding your balance SESSION 6: PACE SESSION 7: SpACE - pACE for the Self SESSION 8: Be the thermostat not the thermometer SESSION 9: Structure and pACE to create a secure basis of safety SESSION 10: What you pay attention to with your heart and mind grows; Supporting not solving; Listening not lecturing SESSION 11: TRUST - Creating safety to help reduce stealing and lying SESSION 12: The places you'll go!

I highly recommend it!!! -- Athena A. Drewes, PsyD, MA, MS, RPT-S, director of Clinical Training, Astor Services for Children and FamiliesAdvances in our understanding of the sequential nature of brain development and the impact of trauma on this development have ignited considerable interest in finding therapies that are effective with lower brain region dysfunction. Unfortunately, traditional play therapies are very powerful in treating higher brain level dysfunction but have little impact on brain regions that are unresponsive to language, insight, and logic. In her most recent book, Applications of Family and Group Theraplay, Evangeline Munns has compiled a wonderful assortment of Theraplay techniques and strategies that can greatly assist the neurodevelopmentally sensitive therapist. -- Richard L. Gaskill, EdD, RPT-S, Clinical Director Sumner County Mental Health CenterApplications of Family and Group Theraplay is an informative assembly of chapters from front line Theraplay therapists. The descriptions of activities, as well as details regarding case studies, inform therapists how effective and adaptable Theraplay can be across cultures and with specific client populations.

Book SynopsisPeer supervision is an important component of many psychotherapists' professional lives, particularly those in private practice. This first and only book on peer supervision groups describes in detail the experience of being in a peer group and gives concrete guidelines for creating and running a group.Trade ReviewKassan offers a glimpse into the vulnerabilities of clinicians. With an extensive review of the literature, he makes a compelling case for peer supervision as a haven for personal and professional development and connection. This book is both informative and inspiring. -- Connie Concannon, LCSW, FAGPA, CGP, American Group Psychotherapy Association, UCSF Department of PsychiatryFor decades psychotherapists have found peer supervision groups enriching and meaningful. In this lively and practical book, Kassan presents a comprehensive view of the pros and cons of these groups as well as providing guidelines for setting up effective peer groups. This important book also effectively deals with the larger issue of how we train psychotherapists. -- J. Scott Rutan, PhD, CGP, Boston Institute for PsychotherapyI believe this is the first book-length, comprehensive examination of peer supervision groups, an increasingly popular vehicle utilized by mental health professionals to deal with difficulties that arise in their practices, to foster their growth as professionals, and to derive support in what otherwise can be a very lonely profession. Kassan does a wonderful job of making these groups come alive and delineating their attributes; as such, it should be read by all who want to understand their value and their limitations. -- Harold Bernard, PhD, American Group Psychotherapy Association, New York University School of MedicineLee Kassan...has written a practical book for those therapists who might consider joining a Peer Supervision Group. By taking a practical approach and eschewing theory, Mr. Kassan presents a readable, practical and helpful book which broadly covers every aspect of peer group supervision....This is an excellent survey and introduction to what will be an increasingly important topic. * International Journal Of Group Psychotherapy *Table of Contents1 Introduction Part 2 I: Supervision Chapter 3 1 The Supervisory Relationship Chapter 4 2 The Problems of Supervision Part 5 II: The Interviews Chapter 6 3 Who Are the Interviewees?

Book SynopsisThe author does a commendable job of taking what is known about groups, the unconscious, and psychodynamics in an academic sense, and grounding it in relevant experiential education examples.

It can act to stretch one's appreciation and understanding of group complexity... It is a book that rewards patient contemplation and delivers high returns for depth of study.

Book SynopsisYoung professionals in psychiatry and psychosomatic medicine often have to lead groups without being trained to do so. This textbook teaches the basics of group therapy based on the Göttingen model. This concept, which has been continuously developed for forty years, works with diverse forms of groups and makes reference to the special interactional character within the group. Examples and questions stimulate the reader to put what they have learned into practice on a daily basis. The use of the Göttingen model enables the different clinical pictures to be dealt with. Corresponding modifications of group therapy have been developed. The experience gathered in this book comes from the regular advanced training of the Göttingen working group on the use of psychoanalysis in groups and takes into account the current state of research and recent developments in this field.
