From the Back Cover:

"Significantly enlarging on the two previous editions, this volume is a delight to read. The book covers the basics of group therapy thoroughly, and reviews the relevant literature very well. It discusses the many theories about group therapy and about human development clearly and inclusively. Illustrating their research and theory with vivid clinical examples, the authors help therapists think about how they practice, rather than dictating how to practice. They acknowledge the unique styles therapists bring to the task and their value. At a time when the Zeitgeist asks for uniformity and cookbook guidelines, these are rare characteristics. This book will be very useful to group practitioners working in a variety of settings, including clinics, halfway houses, colleges, and private practice. It will also be helpful to those who lead open-ended psychodynamic groups, time-limited groups, psychoeducational groups, and groups for special populations." Cecil A. Rice, PhD, FAGPA

"This comprehensive and scholarly volume improves with each new edition. Rutan and Stone distill their deep knowledge and personal expertise. They serve as excellent mentors and guides to the theory and practice of psychodynamic group psychotherapy." Malcolm Pines, MD., Past-President of the International Association of Group Psychotherapy, Institute of Group Analysis London, former Consultant Psychotherapist Tavistock Clinic
