Supervision of Group Psychotherapy cover

Supervision of Group Psychotherapy: A Training Manual is a new essential resource for training supervisors of group psychotherapy.

This manual provides updated general standards and guidelines for supervising group therapy, including those that are unique to various training sites such as private practice, hospitals, mental health agencies, and academic training centers, across disciplines such as social work, counseling, psychology, and psychiatry. The manual includes historical perspectives and foundations, research, theory, ethics, and applied knowledge of group psychotherapy supervision. Integrating theoretical, clinical, and research perspectives, it offers a thorough analysis of the dynamic interplay among supervisor, therapist, and group—key elements in shaping effective supervisors as well as group therapist. It can also be used for supervisors training practitioners to become Certified Group Psychotherapists (CGPs).

Filled with concepts considered core knowledge for any group supervisor-in-training, this manual provides the gold standard for group therapy supervision.

"This textbook is a timely, comprehensive and essential read for all clinicians facilitating group psychotherapy. The co-editors Drs. Collins-Greene, Riva, Lefforge and all the contributors of this volume artfully and compellingly illustrate the latest advances in best practices, skills, and competencies of efficient multiculturally informed supervision. The editors have compiled chapters from leading experts in the field and from different theoretical approaches. I highly recommend this book which provides replete practical and clinical frameworks for optimizing supervision outcomes and advancing ethical competency-based training and research in group psychotherapy."

Leonardo M. Leiderman, PsyD, ABPP, FAACP, CGP, AGPA-F, Director, Neurofeedback and Psychological Services, PC, President, American Group Psychotherapy Association

"With the recent designation of Group Psychology and Group Psychotherapy as a Recognized Specialty by the American Psychological Association, this book is timely and needed. Collins-Greene, Riva, and Lefforge have assembled renown group psychotherapists with extensive experience in the supervision of group psychotherapy to create an in-depth resource on the supervision of group psychotherapy covering everything from the history and models of group psychotherapy supervision, specific competencies for supervisors, ethical issues, and multicultural considerations. This book should be required reading in psychotherapy supervision practicum students and anyone engaged in (or considering engaging in) the practice of supervision of group psychotherapy."

Joe Miles, PhD, Professor and Director of Clinical Training, Counseling Psychology PhD Program

"This comprehensive manual fills a critical gap in the supervision literature by providing essential guidance for training group psychotherapy supervisors and consultants. The authors expertly integrate foundational principles with contemporary approaches, covering crucial areas from supervisory competencies, methods, ethical considerations, and Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion perspectives."
