From the couch to the circle: group-analytic psychotherapy in practice

This handbook of group therapy and guide to the group-analytic model, the prevailing form of group therapy in Europe, draws on both John Schlapobersky's engagement as a practitioner and the words and experience of people in groups as they face psychotherapy's key challenges - understanding and change.

It provides a manual of practice for therapists that includes detailed descriptions of groups at work and accounts of therapists' own experiences, as well as the issues they face in themselves and in their groups.

Although it is devoted to the group-analytic model, other principally psychodynamic models of group therapy - the Tavistock, interpersonal, psychodynamic, modern analytic and structural/systemic models - are also brought into a comparative discussion to create an integrated and coherent approach.
