About This Book
Donigian and Malnati's unique book focuses on the interactive nature of systemic groups and demystifies the phenomenon of group process.
Looking at the systemic nature of groups within the framework of General Systems Theory, the authors propose that there are three elements within therapy groups - the group as a whole, the member, and the leader(s) - all of which interact to shape the nature of the group and the experience of therapy. You'll find ample case examples that will help you apply the concepts presented, as well as questions that encourage self-reflection and sensitivity to the group.
Plus, you'll learn how to elicit and manage tension, conflict, and anxiety as forces for change in the group; trust your intuition as a group leader; deal with fears and fantasies as a beginning group leader; and understand different forms of communication.
