The theory and practice of group psychotherapy

01 Jan 1970-
TL;DR: Yalom as mentioned in this paper described the course of therapy from both the patient's and the therapist's viewpoint in Encounter Groups: First Facts (1973) and Every Day gets a Little Closer: A Twice-Told Therapy (1974).
Abstract: This book first appeared in 1970 and has gone into two further editions, one in 1975 and this one in 1985. Yalom is also the author of Existential Psychotherapy (1980), In-patient Group Psychotherapy (1983), the co-author with Lieberman of Encounter Groups: First Facts (1973) and with Elkin of Every Day Gets a Little Closer: A Twice-Told Therapy (1974) (which recounts the course of therapy from the patient's and the therapist's viewpoint). The present book is the central work of the set and seems to me the most substantial. It is also one of the most readable of his works because of its straightforward style and the liberal use of clinical examples.

TL;DR: The authors discuss two alternative perspectives of the dynamics in the hope model that merit comment because these perspectives may offer competing explanations for hoperelated behaviors, and compare certain principle tenets with the hope variable.
Abstract: emulated. This process is described in a Piagetian stepwise fashion, implying that children acquire certain hopelike behaviors as cognitive ability develops. We wonder if hope may not be inculcated in other ways, perhaps in earlier cognitive stages, taking into consideration important familial and cultural dynamics. In this article, we discuss two alternative perspectives of the dynamics in the hope model that merit comment because these perspectives may offer competing explanations for hoperelated behaviors. We briefly describe these alternative accounts and compare certain principle tenets with the hope model. We conclude with some integrative comments that might have implications for research on the hope variable, particularly in respect to group dynamics and interventions.

  • ...Although hope is believed to be important to the early stages of group therapy (Yalom, 1985), there is some evidence that this is more of a concern to those lacking hope (Leszcz, Yalom, & Norden, 1985)....

TL;DR: This work outlines the transition to telehealth broadly, emphasizing some unexpected benefits of using telehealth services that are useful for other higher level of care eating disorder programs, and highlights aspects of transition that have been more challenging for this particular patient population, warranting the need for in-person services.
Abstract: The 2019 novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has forced many eating disorder medical stabilization units to consider adjustments that uphold both the quality of care delivered to patients while also observing social distancing public health directives for patients and staff. To date, inpatient facilities for eating disorders (both medical stabilization units and higher level of care facilities) have not needed to consider how to translate services to electronic platforms, given that most of these programs have in-person staff. We outline our transition to telehealth broadly, emphasizing some unexpected benefits of using telehealth services that we plan on integrating into our work-flow post COVID-19. These may be useful for other higher level of care eating disorder programs, including medical stabilization units, residential, partial hospitalization, and intensive outpatient programs. We also highlight aspects of transition that have been more challenging for this particular patient population, warranting the need for in-person services.
