It’s been a month… where is my book? I don’t know, I haven’t gotten it yet. I’ve gotten the additional book I bought in the same order, a used book. I have yet to see the new book. This is very disappointing. It’s hard to wait for a book and get further and further behind in my studies. I should have gone to a different site.

It is about time Yalom stopped expending his already out of touch books on group therapy. His first edition was an asset in the beginning development of group therapy but his many editions are just another way of selling books. In many cases his more recent editions give graduate students an unrealistic and regularly out of touch perspective on group psychiatric help. One only has to watch one of Yalom’s group therapy videos to really see the detachment and lack of feeling this man produces in his work. The book was a bore but there will permanently be persons groupies through cognitive disonance who will aplaud its fantastic contribution. I feel sorry for the clients who come to their groups if they model themselves after Yalom. Sort of similar to all persons Benjamin Spock babies running around after their mothers raised their kids by his book and are now completely neurotic.

Yalom’s book is supposedly the quintessential book on group therapy. He writes as a very intellectual and highly educated man who seems to really need the reader to venerate and appreciate said qualities. I have an brilliant vocabulary, and appreciate learning a new 50-center here and there. But, this book reads as if Yalom first wrote the book and then went back over the entire thing with a thesaurus and exchanged every possible word with a more abstruse, esoteric, or recondite word. The result is a garrulously verbose text, which is not even written in APA. Every citation has to be sought in the 83 page appendix of references. This is the most tedious and dull book that I have ever had the pleasure of using as a doorstop.

Dr. Yalom is obviously an intelligent individual who appeals to graduate students in psychology with small if no knowledge of group psychiatric help. In theory everything is wonderful, appealing, and exciting. In practice, well that is another tale. It will be appealing to see how well one is able to translate the book into actual practice where the value and importance of any text becomes glaringly known. Having been a student and clinician and professor, I can attest to the bewilderment students experience when they start running groups and this book is not one that a novice can fall back on to survive the trials and tribulations of leading groups. It is a excellent read, like Freud is a excellent read but needs to be viewed more in a past sense rather than a practical sense.

As a ex- hospital chaplain, mental health therapist, and one-time uncomplaining, I am momentously place off by the leader’s assumptions and arrogance concerning group therapy. His attempts to “bring out” and “socialize” Highly Sensitive Personalities, Introverts and persons with Schizo-social disorders limits on criminal. Starting with p.231, the leader spins a rather slanted bias in favor of extroversion, brashly assuming that introverted patients need “fixed” if they are to be productive and pleased in a group therapy environment. Such yucky insensitivity and ignorance is unfortunate, misleading, and indefensible in a scholarly text such as this.
