Sommario/riassunto

This book synthesizes psychoanalytic and group dynamic approaches to group life and offers practical guidelines to the group psychotherapist. The authors advocate the simultaneous use of two perspectives: the psychoanalytic perspective for observing the ""visible"" group of people and their interactions, and a General Systems ""Field Theory"" perspective for observing the ""invisible"" group-as-a-whole. They also suggest changes in leadership style appropriate to different types of therapy groups.
