Download or read book Introduction to Time limited Group Psychotherapy written by K. Roy MacKenzie and published by American Psychiatric Pub. This book was released on 1990 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introduction to Time-Limited Group Psychotherapy is a basic text designed for the clinician who already has experience in individual psychotherapy. However, the breadth of perspective and discussion of therapeutic strategies should be of value to the more experienced psychotherapist as well. The book is divided into four sections. ? Section One deals with basic concepts regarding the small group. This section should aid the therapist in accurately recognizing group phenomena. ? Section Two presents the applications of the theories concerning time-limited group psychotherapy in a clinical setting. It emphasizes the importance of careful diagnostic and interpersonal assessment, group composition considerations, and pretherapy preparation in ensuring that a sense of "groupness" will emerge promptly. ? Section Three shows how to use the emerging relationships among group members as the vehicle to manage individual issues. In both Sections Two and Three, the current literature concerning brief individual therapy is applied to the group context. ? Section Four offers guidelines for integrating group psychotherapy into service and training programs. Special consideration is given to inpatient groups and long-term support groups.

Download or read book Contributions of Self Psychology to Group Psychotherapy written by Walter N. Stone and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-03-26 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stone's central interests include the development of the self, empathy, narcissism, shame, envy, rage and the group-self. He is concerned with several aspects of clinical technique and is especially sensitive to our co-creation of so-called "difficult patients". His understanding of dreams as both personal and group products which manifest visual narratives will be of particular interest to students of the social and collective unconscious. Stone's work with narcissistic and borderline patients developed in parallel with his work with the chronically mentally ill, who are often institutionalised. He demonstrates that group therapy for such patients is not only a matter of containment and holding in the service of administrative control, but also involves interpretative work based on an understanding of the primary need for a good enough self-object.

Download or read book Handbook of Contemporary Group Psychotherapy written by Robert H. Klein and published by International Universities Press. This book was released on 1992 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book constitutes the first comprehensive effort to bridge the gap beween contemporary psychoanalytic theory and group psychotherapy practice. While many practitioners have difficulty applying contemporary theoretical concepts to individual psychotherapy, there are at least a number of efforts to do so in the extant literature. The present volume represents the first systematic effort to identify the relevance of object relations theory, self psychology, and social systems theory to the conduct of group treatment. These theoretical schools represent the major elaborations of psychoanalytic theory over the past thirty years. Their major concepts and underlying assumptions are complex, and experienced by many as difficult to understand. The authors who have contributed to this volume have been chosen because of their ability to explain their theoretical positions lucidly, and to make clear the applicability of their perspectives to day-to-day clinical work. The book is rich with clinical vignettes from actual group therapy sessions: this allows the reader to see how theoretical constucts can be used in concrete ways to help patients change and grow. The book is divided into three sections: Recent Theoretical Developments, Clinical Applications to Patient Care, and The Role of the Therapist. Each section includes a summary chapter which highlights the points of convergence and divergence among the three perspectives discussed. The book ends with a concluding chapter which assesses the current status of attempts to integrate current psychoanalytic theory with the practice of group psychotherapy.
Download or read book Basics of Group Psychotherapy written by Harold S. Bernard and published by Guilford Press. This book was released on 1994-08-05 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Filling a significant gap in the clinical literature, this unusually practical manual addresses the nuts-and-bolts issues involved in conducting group therapy. Featuring contributions from leading experts in the field, the volume covers everything from determining which patients will benefit from a group experience to step-by-step instructions for running group sessions as effectively as possible. A hands-on manual, the volume is also an ideal companion to a basic text on group psychotherapy. Organized in a unique, logical sequence, the chapters begin with an explanation of how to select patients for a particular group intervention and how groups are composed. The different stages of group interaction over time are then covered in detail, as are the changing aspects of the therapist's role during the various stages. Setting forth basic principles of group technique--including the management of resistance, transference, primitive group dynamics, and countertransference--a clear distinction is drawn between the roles of therapists conducting group treatment and therapists working in other treatment modalities.

Download or read book Selves in Relation written by Keith Oatley and published by . This book was released on 2016-11-10 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Emotional crises and breakdowns are not things going wrong in individuals' minds: they are disturbances in their relations with themselves and others. In psychotherapy an attempt is made to resolve such crises through a therapeutic relationship with an individual or in a group. First published in 1984, this book introduces the theory of individual and group therapy, and explains some of its principles in practice. Although there had been a rapid development of ideas in the area of psychotherapy at the time, it was only recently before original publication of this book that these had been related to theory. Keith Oatley assesses the influence of cognitive social psychology, psychoanalysis and the existential/phenomenological tradition, and considers the role of emotions, thinking and social interactions in therapeutic transformation. The theory, he argues, must also be related to the research findings on the outcomes of different therapies. This book is for those who study psychotherapy in psychology, psychiatry, counselling and social work - and for anyone who wants to know what psychotherapy was about in the 1980s.

Download or read book Self Experiences in Group written by Irene N. H. Harwood and published by Jessica Kingsley Publishers. This book was released on 1998 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using clinical examples, the contributors demonstrate the 'good enough' healing power of carefully constructed and supervised groups conducted by therapists who apply both Kohut's self psychological concepts and those currently evolving from intersubjectivity throughout the world. Among the topics covered in this volume are: - the recent advances in hermeneutics, self psychology and intersubjectivity theory - the universal need for a group object - Kohut's thinking on archaic and mature twinship - the applicability of new infant research - the need to examine early childhood multiple cross-cultural selfobject and traumatic experiences within transferences - the utilization of a co-therapy model - and how to create optimal group environments. Mixing new theoretical developments with clinical research and practice, Self Experiences in Group breaks new ground and illustrates how these concepts can be applied to work at infant, child or adult level.

Download or read book Perspectives in Group Psychotherapy RLE Group Therapy written by P.B. de Maré and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-09-19 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, originally published in 1972, aimed to provide a theoretical framework for group therapists to guide them through the mass of variables which beset them. Its scope therefore is extremely broad, for it also touches on philosophy, psychology, sociology, communication and general systems theory. In the last chapter certain conclusions are drawn concerning the relationship between group and psycho-dynamics. The book will be of interest to those who have already had some experience of small, medium or large groups, and who want to think about their work in more general terms: it was not at the time widely realised how radically different and how potentially powerful are the implications of group procedures, not only for therapy but in such fields as education, industry and politics. Freud recognised this when he pointed out the dilemma of having to procure for the group precisely those features which were characteristic of the individual, and which are extinguished in him by the formation of the group. Whilst the problem for the individual is the intrusion of unconscious factors, for the group it is the group’s equivalent of consciousness, namely communication and organization, which is in a quandary. The group model differs crucially from the psychological, but they may relate in the sense that, as Freud indicated, neurosis represents a recapitulation within the individual of mankind’s group history. The unconscious mind, then, is a group phenomenon. In other words, group theory turns psychoanalysis upside down and begins at the point where Freud left off, relating neurosis to its social sources. In the light of the group approach, therefore, neurosis and certain of the psychoses can be viewed as localized deposits of unresolved group experiences within the individual, whether they be past, current or an expectation of the future; a feature which makes traumatic neuroses more understandable since they cannot be explained in terms of infantile neurosis. The author suggested the possibility of a new development in group techniques, namely that of large group therapy freed of community ties or training considerations, in which attitudes and ideologies make themselves evident, not as cloudy idealistic non sequiturs but as crucial and clearly definable climates which either impede or promote communication and the flow of information.

Download or read book Group Psychotherapy written by Jacob W. Klapman and published by . This book was released on 1946 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "So many of the healing arts, it may be said of group psychotherapy that it has been practiced since the advent of mankind, but as a self-conscious discipline with an attempted appraisal of causes and effects group psychotherapy is of decidedly recent origin. Its concepts, theories, practices, indeed, are still in their initial and fluid state, but a number' of urgent stresses in world affairs have served greatly to accelerate and intensify the need for it. In the last few years, by reason of the large numbers of military psychiatric casualties and the greatly increased demands for psychiatric services in general, group psychotherapy has, it would appear, suddenly been called upon to fill a role of unprecedented proportions. Although this art is very new and there has yet been insufficient time and opportunity for precise formulations, the demand is already sufficiently great to attempt a summation of current usages and, from a practical point of view, to indicate some guiding, although still largely tentative, principles for those who contemplate the use of group psychotherapy. If a terse and succinct statement of the particular contribution group psychotherapy makes to the healing arts be asked for it may be said that this method constitutes more nearly a living-through process in relation to the social setting than practically any other form of psychotherapy. The range arid variety of groups which may be treated by group therapy methods would appear almost limitless. It would be impossible and also unnecessary to catalogue group therapeutic procedures with every conceivable type of group. Here the therapy of a number of representative groups has been depicted. If it is borne in mind that the principles and dynamics, of group psychotherapy are the same with all manner and complexions of groups, although the particular modes of application may vary, there need arise few difficulties in the contemplated treatment of new and hitherto untried kinds of groups. Again, that is not to say that the subject has been thoroughly exhausted. There is still much more to be-worked out in the practices and theories of group therapy. It is only to be hoped that with this work a footing may be provided for further and more abundant explorations in this fascinating method of therapy. To those who have been of assistance in the preparation of this book, and especially to Mrs. Lillian Davis for her untiring efforts, I wish to express my profoundest gratitude"--Preface.

Download or read book Self Experiences in Group Revisited written by Irene Harwood and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-05-04 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the publication of Self Experiences in Group in 1998—the first book to apply self psychology and intersubjectivity to group work—there have been tremendous advancements in the areas of affect, attachment, infant research, intersubjective regulation, motivational theory, neurobiology, philosophy, somatic understanding, and trauma. Carefully edited by Irene Harwood, Walter Stone, and Malcolm Pines, Self Experiences in Group, Revisited is a completely revised and updated application of self-psychological and intersubjective perspectives to couples, family, and group work, incorporating many of these recent findings and theories of the past decade. Divided into five sections, the contributors take an updated approach to the prenate and neonate in group; couples and the family in group; group theory, technique, and application; working with trauma; and group processes and artistic applications. Throughout, the reader is engaged in affectively understanding what is experienced by individuals in the regulation and dysregulation of self as part of the interpersonal relating, learning, and change that can occur in groups.
