Examining Social Identities And Diversity Issues In Group Therapy by Michele D. Ribeiro, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters

A unique blend of theory and practice within the world of group psychotherapy, this text discusses diversity issues in group contexts within the realm of teaching, consulting, and facilitating psychotherapy groups. Chapters present a unique perspective on diversity issues within certain populations, such as prisoners, elite athletes, and high-risk youth, and examine questions around race, language, ability, gender, and the similarities and differences between the leader and their clients. Such examples provide an intricate look into the psychological dynamics that arise within these populations and the skill of group therapists in honoring their clients' humanity. Readers will appreciate the practical examples with how to navigate difficult dynamics such as microaggressions and the role of compassion as a foundational principle of practice for group therapists. | Examining Social Identities And Diversity Issues In Group Therapy by Michele D.
