Reviews for Teaching Facilitation of Group Therapy: Processes and Applications

'In her latest group therapy textbook, Dr. Brown masterfully develops a unique focus on how best to educate and train group therapists. Through the articulation of the developing group therapist’s learning needs and challenges, Dr. Brown provides a road map for teachers, students and practitioners, that promotes the therapists’ capacities to use themselves as fully as possible, as therapeutic agents. This is a well written, very important and timely textbook, responding to the expanding utilization of the group therapies, and the need to ensure group therapists are trained in both the art and science of this demanding and effective model of treatment.' Molyn Leszcz, MD, FRCPC, CGP, AGPA-DF, Department of Psychiatry, Mount Sinai Hospital; Professor, University of Toronto Department of Psychiatry 'Teaching Facilitation of Group Therapy captures the essence and complexity of skills of effective group leadership. It covers both the basics and essential knowledge, skill and characteristics required to run an array of groups. A must read for aspiring group leaders.' Gary M Burlingame, PhD, CGP, AGPA-DF, APA-F, Professor & Chair, BYU Psychology Department; Warren & Wilson Dusenberry Professor; President, American Group Psychotherapy Association 'What a treasure to find a book the integrates my two favorite worlds – pedagogy and group psychotherapy. As someone who has taught group courses many times, I was delighted that it both consolidated what I have come to know and unveiled novel content. Both seasoned and brand-new instructors alike will cherish this gift from Nina Brown.' Noelle Lefforge, Ph.D., ABPP.
