Book excerpt: "Models of Inpatient Group Psychotherapy" is distinctive in its comprehensive coverage of a wide variety of models, each considered specifically within the context of inpatient care. With years of experience in conducting groups and training psychotherapists, Brabender and Fallon focus on what works in various settings for therapists of various theoretical orientations and levels of experience. For each model, they consider the theoretical underpinnings, characteristic interventions, relevant research, strengths and weaknesses, and demands of the setting, giving particular attention to variables that are unique to the inpatient setting. Using clinical illustrations, the authors demonstrate how the therapist can choose, adapt, and implement the model most suited to heighten group experience and achieve group goals.
