This was another great read by Yalom; educational, eye opening, and extremely helpful, used for my Group Counseling class in school. This is one book I am keeping for reference and to re-read- it is not just a textbook but a useful tool for introspective learning as well!!!

It was a wonderful book very informative and has good feedback on how to setup a group and tips for avoiding clients to stay in group and not leaving.

Best groups text
This is Yalom's 5th edition, and I've used it as a reference work since the 3rd edition, which I read cover-to-cover.
Yalom is THE AUTHORITY on group work. Some of his emphases are debatable-he holds achievement of group cohesion above all else-but he backs up his beliefs.
A MUST for any good professional, clinical library.

Excellent! I liked the way Yalom uses different terms to identify one function. I learned a lot from this book.
