The interpersonal approach to group psychotherapy.
The interpersonal model of group psychotherapy emphasizes the critical nature of peer interactions and consequent dynamic interpersonal learning. The author illustrates basic concepts of the model through a series of clinical vignettes. The central importance of the group as a social microcosm, cohesion and group process, here-and-now activation, and corrective emotional experience are documented, as is the role of the therapist in facilitating interpersonal feedback and effective therapeutic work.
