Reviews and Endorsements
‘It is a great pleasure to read this compilation of different applications of Group Analysis. The diversity is astonishing; it covers areas as varied as forensic group psychotherapy, family therapy, attachment theory, groups with adolescents, organisational consultancy, feminism, supervision, education, combined therapies, research and addictions. The contributors are some of the most experienced and renowned group analysts, who have taken Foulkes’s theories into new territories and in that way have demonstrated their applicability. I warmly recommend this book for both experienced practitioners as well as beginners of group psychotherapy, and for those who are just interested in how groups functions in different settings.’
- Gerda Winther, Former President of the International Group Analytic Society
‘This book highlights the broader perspectives of theory and practice in contemporary group analysis. The chapters cover the application of group analysis in a variety of settings, among those, family therapy, hospital settings, in organisational consultancy as well as the pioneering work with offenders and victims in a forensic setting. This volume also contains papers on group analytic theory and research, as well as topics such as supervision and education. The papers are written by experienced authors and clinicians within the field. They are well written, informative and stimulating reading, and recommended for trainees as well as experienced practitioners.’
- Thor Kristian Island, MD, psychiatrist, and Group Analyst at the Institute of Group Analysis
