Von der hinteren Coverseite

"This book is badly needed, and much welcomed. It stands out because of its comprehensive coverage of group CBT for many mental health problems, including especially vulnerable groups with hoarding disorder, addictions, and psychosis, as well as children, the elderly, and immigrant groups. Each chapter offers an up-to-date literature review followed by rich and clear clinical illustrations of how to apply the interventions and concepts in group settings. This book is a great guide for students taking courses on CBT."

"Dr. Söchting makes a very valuable contribution to the practice of cognitive behavioral group therapy that will significantly advance practitioners' effectiveness. Her focus on process and group dynamics will go a very long way in enhancing the effectiveness of CBGT capitalizing on the strengths inherent in both cognitive behavioral therapy and group therapy. The book is thoughtful, clear, and comprehensive, and it reflects the author's expertise as a group psychotherapist committed to the importance of using the group as an active agent for change and not only as a setting to deliver an intervention."
Dr. Molyn Leszcz, MD, FRCPC, Psychiatrist-in-Chief, Mount Sinai Hospital and Professor, University of Toronto
