What is Creating Contact, Choosing Relationship: The Dynamics Of Unstructured Group Therapy (jossey Bass Social And Behavioral Science Series) about?

Much of the recent literature surrounding group therapy has focused on structured interactions. Yet because individuals bring their unique histories and qualities to a group, structured interactions can sometimes constrain the potential intimacy and learning that can occur in less structured settings. This book explores how the dynamics of unstructured groups can help achieve therapeutic objectives, foster human growth, and create meaningful relationships. In Creating Contact, Choosing Relationship, Richard Page and Daniel Berkow offer a framework for enhancing the benefit participants can gain from engaging in interactions that are not structured according to predetermined patterns. They outline ideas for working toward two essential goals of the therapeutic process: working on personal problems and learning how to develop mutually satisfying relationships. And they reveal how professionals can improve their recognition of themes such as love, power, and self-actualization in others. They offer insights into incorporating both therapists' and group members' inherent capacity for creativity and self-direction into group interaction - and they reveal how this can enhance the change
