THE book for leading psychotherapeutic groups5
This book is simply the best there is for the novice as well as the experienced group leader. I plan on keeping it in my bookcase for years to come.

Very helpful5
I advocate using this book if you need to find good guidelines on establishing a group meeting or studying for comp exams. Great reference tool when you get into practice also. Good easy read.

An essential book for group therapy5
Yalom is ever the master on the topic of group therapy. This is of course, a must read for any novice in the area of group therapy. It is also, as I have discovered, an essential treasure chest for those of us who wish to improve our skills.
