Product Description

Review

"Significantly enlarging on the two previous editions, this volume is a delight to read. The book covers the basics of group therapy thoroughly, and reviews the relevant literature very well. It discusses the many theories about group therapy and about human development clearly and inclusively. Illustrating their research and theory with vivid clinical examples, the authors help therapists think about how they practice, rather than dictating how to practice. They acknowledge the unique styles therapists bring to the task and their value. At a time when the Zeitgeist asks for uniformity and cookbook guidelines, these are rare characteristics. This book will be very useful to group practitioners working in a variety of settings, including clinics, halfway houses, colleges, and private practice. It will also be helpful to those who lead open-ended psychodynamic groups, time-limited groups, psychoeducational groups, and groups for special populations." --Cecil A. Rice, PhD, FAGPA

"If one wants to enter the field of group therapy, this is the path to take. Two splendid clinicians have combined their talents, experience, knowledge, and compassion to lay out the principles of group treatment in clear and concise language. They speak to the student and they remind the seasoned professional that there is a system, a purpose, an organized way to conduct a group of well-met strangers through the trials of the richest journey of their lives. This is a book to be treasured." --Louis R. Ormont, PhD, Director, Center for the Advancement of Group Studies, New York, NY

"This comprehensive and scholarly volume improves with each new edition. Rutan and Stone distill their deep knowledge and personal expertise. They serve as excellent mentors and guides to the theory and practice of psychodynamic group psychotherapy." --Malcolm Pines, MD., Past-President of the International Association of Group Psychotherapy, Institute of Group Analysis London, former Consultant Psychotherapist Tavistock Clinic

5.0 out of 5 stars And You Thought It Was Good Before, Feb 28 2001
By 
Stephen D. Saeks, Ph.D. (Portland, Oregon United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Psychodynamic Group Psychotherapy, Third Edition (Hardcover)
Drs. Rutan and Stone have long been actively involved in the forefront of teaching and conducting Group Psychotherapy. Their credentials, reputations and skills precede them. Yet, none of this guarantees a book which will serve the needs of its readers. With the earlier editions of this volume, readers were taken into the realm of Psychodynamic Group Psychotherapy, in a clear, concise, and useful manner. Often when authors produce books such as this, later revisions are simply a reworking of the previous editions. Not so with this book. In fact, the authors pushed themselves to produce a volume which not only brings the material alive, but draws the reader directly into the process. In their latest edition, Rutan and Stone not only present well articulated clinical examples, but they also share with the reader, the therapist's thoughts that lead to the particular interventions. This takes the use of clinical examples from 2 to 3 dimensional, and allows the reader to more fully understand not only what was done in each situation, but why. The authors also update the book with currrent issues, such as the impact of managed care (although this is not a primary focus of the book). And, as before there is an abundance of information outlining and explaining the underlying theoretical principles which inform this model

As someone who has led, taught and supervised Group Psychotherapy for the past 15 years, I believe that this is one of the best books on this subject, available today. While it is not a general book aimed at providing an overview of Group Psychotherapy, or an overview of various models of Group Psychotherapy, it does translate the authors' clinical insight and experience into a format from which others can learn and grow. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in learning about the theory and practice of Psychodynamic Group Psychotherapy.

5.0 out of 5 stars THE WAIT HAS ENDED..., Feb 11 2001
This review is from: Psychodynamic Group Psychotherapy, Third Edition (Hardcover)
Drs. Rutan and Stone expand their wonderful and scholarly text, Psychodynamic Group Psychotherapy. All readers, scholars and anyone interested in group psychotherapy will have the opportunity of greatly increasing their personal and professional knowledge while reading the work(s) of these two senior and erudite clinicians. I am obviously a fan of their efforts and have used their books over these many years to not only increase my own understanding of psychodynamic groups but also to inspire the knowledge of my students which their books have profoundly accomplished.

4.0 out of 5 stars Exellent Conternt in Search of an Editor, Mar 14 2006
By Richard E. Prince - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Psychodynamic Group Psychotherapy, Third Edition (Hardcover)
Efforts to fix organitional, outlining, and other general editing problems from the previous edition, seem to have created greater problems rather than lessening them. That said, I still use it as my primaray text when I teach the subject to doctoral students because I can find nothing that does justice to the subject nearly as well.
