Group Analytic Therapists at Work: Everyday Group Analysis

Group Analytic Therapists at Work is an accessible introduction to the experience of being in group analytic psychotherapy from a wide range of perspectives.

Written by members of the Group Analytic Network London, the chapters explore the history of group analysis and span key areas, including the political and the social, diversity and difference, gender and norms, and isolation and the social sphere. Group Analytic Therapists at Work contains discussion of themes such as group work with differing age ranges and life stages, cultural considerations, normativity, inclusion and exclusion, isolation and the internet. Each chapter provides insight from an experienced group analyst into what happens in groups, what group analysts think about while running their groups and, fundamentally, what group analysis is about.

This book will be of great interest to psychotherapists in practice and in training, group therapists and group analysts and other professionals, as well as anyone else seeking to increase their understanding of group work.
