Group Therapy for Psychoses

"The authors demonstrate how much inspiration is needed and how much understanding, wish and desire is necessary when working with psychotic patients using group therapeutic modality. By sharing their knowledge and experience through clinical material which is enriched with theoretical discussion, they stimulate in the reader a sense of curiosity and satisfaction. The book sheds light on many possibilities of treatment for patients in group therapy. Every chapter is inspired by personal understanding and psychotic processes are discussed in different contexts and levels of personal understanding, thus offering group psychotherapy of patients that suffer from psychosis in a more accessible and understandable way. By reading this book I am convinced that working with patients suffering from psychoses will enrich our knowledge about psychological processes, illuminating paths that should be followed in psychotherapy of difficult patients." --Ljiljana Milivojevic, M.D., Ph.D., neuropsychiatrist, training group analyst and training psychoanalyst in private practice, Belgrade, Serbia

"A new star is shining in this necessitous sky. This book encompasses a great number of group approaches to psychoses in a plain language that is radiating with humanity, but also high professionalism. Authors from ten countries and two continents provide the reader with the most up-to-date information on group psychotherapy, illustrated with clinical examples. This book should certainly be read." --Eduard Klain, M.D., Ph.D., training psychoanalyst of IPA, certified group psychotherapist of AGPA, Professor Emeritas at the University of Zagreb Medical School, Croatia
