The Theory and Practice of Group Psychotherapy
Abstract
A humorless philosopher might reduce all the world's ills to two words: "personnel problems." Space ship Earth demands that physicians committed to the future learn how to help mankind live with disease as well as with one another. As community medicine focuses more on helping large patient populations, it's clear that the historical lessons of group living are hard to learn. This may be one reason why results of group therapy research have been both muddy and contradictory. In contrast to its predecessors, Dr. Yalom's book is a significant synthetic milestone. Although this book is a group therapy manual, it is also a concise and integrated summary of group dynamics research. The author uses data and pragmatic theories taken from his own voluminous works to develop a descriptive model of group therapy. He defines ascore"those aspects... which are intrinsic to the therapeutic process..." All other facets of any

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
