Great Book!

I used this for a group therapy graduate course. It was excellent. Yalom is thorough, yet concise in his delivery of information. It went very nicely with the curriculum set by my professor. It is also a great resource for those involved in group therapy work.

Dry, Starchy, and Boring

Yalom's book is supposedly the quintessential book on group therapy. He writes as a very intellectual and highly educated man who seems to really need the reader to venerate and appreciate said qualities. I have an excellent vocabulary, and appreciate learning a new 50-center here and there....

Only group counseling book you need!

Book is very easy to read and so helpful. I started running three support groups this year, and this book is like my Bible! I go to it weekly as a reference. Cleverly divided into sections to find your information quickly. Highly recommended it if you will be running support groups.
