Yalom is the master of group therapy....his work isn't the easiest to read but he is the master. If you are considering a field in clinical psychology then you will just have to deal with his lengthy book. Yalom has done extensive research and this is a great starter book for learning the ins and out of group therapy. It is also the kind of book that you will keep and refer to years to come.

I should have read the reviews before I purchased from this unreliable seller! I ordered the book (needed it for class), and surprise surprise, the order was cancelled by the seller! Completely frustrating and a complete waste of my time! I wish that sellers that constantly receive bad reviews because they are deceitful and unscrupulous!

Dr. Yalom is obviously an intelligent individual who appeals to graduate students in psychology with little if no knowledge of group psychotherapy. In theory everything is wonderful, interesting, and exciting. In practice, well that is another story. It will be interesting to see how well one is able to translate the book into actual practice where the value and importance of any text becomes glaringly known. Having been a student and clinician and professor, I can attest to the bewilderment students experience when they begin running groups and this book is not one that a novice can fall back on to survive the trials and tribulations of leading groups. It is a good read, like Freud is a good read but needs to be viewed more in a historical sense rather than a practical sense.

Yalom is necessary reading for all psychotherapists that will be conducting groups. While his theoretical orientation is more interpersonal and existential than most, it provides the necessary foundation to expand into the desired group therapy leader one in the profession will wish to become.

I love reading Yalom. He makes group therapy concepts flow like a river. I would give this as a gift to every student of psychology, psychiatry, nursing, social work, that I know. Not having won the lottery, I am thrilled to have it in my own library.
