"Plain and simple, Yalom's seminal text on group therapy is a MUST for anyone wishing to perform therapy in this format. While he comes from a Gestalt standpoint, I feel he remains fairly objective in both his recommendations and observations from his experience. He does a good job at incorporating the latest research to back up his viewpoints as well. His examples are clear and thought-provoking, and he spells out everything in an easy to understand manner. He himself has said that he's more of a writer than a psychologist (and I believe him after seeing his therapy videos!). I learned so much from this book that I don't know where to begin. With every sentence came an "a ha" moment for me! *Note: Keep a highlighter in hand while you read.* Even though its breadth is fairly daunting (with almost 700 pages), Theory & Practice is WELL worth the read....and re-read. I've referred to it repeatedly throughout my experience running groups. Can't recommend this one highly enough."

"I've read a lot of Yalom's work and have been fortunate enough to find material by his wife. As a counselor who has worked in the trenches for over 23 years I appreciate his perspective, knowledge, wisdom and insight.
This book never fails to deliver. While this is a lengthy tome of material to digest, I've found that it reads like a novel and left me feeling more hopeful as I came away with more insights, more skills, and a deep appreciation for the work I do and Yalom's contribution to the field.
I hope he continues to write."

"There is a newer edition but there was $45. difference-not work the extra. It's been a bible of group for my interns and myself, a psychiatric social worker with mentally ill offenders."
