5.0 out of 5 stars A VALUABLE TEXT THAT IS THE MOST READABLE I'VE SEEN
Reviewed in the United States on November 10, 2008
Dr. Fehr, who has contributed so much to the field of group psychotherapy with his prior books,  Introduction to Group Therapy: A Practical Guide (Advances in Psychology and Mental Health) (Advances in Psychology and Mental Health)  and  Group Therapy in Independent Practice , achieves, in this volume, something truly original, refreshing and extremely valuable. In  101 Interventions in Group Therapy  he has drawn together experiences and approaches from the practices of eminent group psychotherapists from around the world.

Under Dr. Fehr's sure hand, these selections have been crafted into short, exciting, but practical, examples of differing techniques and orientations, that keep the reader fascinated through 101 brief chapters. Unlike the the typical text, this book provides practical windows into the actual practice of group psychotherapy without scaring away those new to the field, making it an excellent resource for students and novices. At the same time, the wide-ranging flow of ideas, varying viewpoints and creative innovations are bound to inspire and stimulate thinking in even the most experienced practitioner.

Bravo.

5.0 out of 5 stars 101 Interventions in Group Therapy is an Excellent Resource
Reviewed in the United States on April 6, 2008
Whether you are a new psychotherapist or one with many years of experience, this book will both inform and inspire you. It is packed with a plethora of very usable techniques which can be quickly learned and used in your own practice. This book is meant to be a source of information that can be used immediately in your group therapy practice and it succeeds admirably. Whether you are an experentially-oriented therapist or an action oriented therapist, there are techniques here which will enhance your group therapy practice. Also for those who are in academia and who are looking for a supplementary text to used in an introduction to group therapy class, then this book would be outstanding. This is because it covers such a diverse range of topics and techniques that any student will walk away from reading it with not only a sound knowledge base but also with inspiration for future study. Overall, I highly recommend this book. It will be well worth your time, effort, and money.

5.0 out of 5 stars Invaluable resource: 101 demonstrations of group psychotherapy's creativity and efficacy
Reviewed in the United States on November 13, 2008
This edited compendium of practical and creative interventions demonstrates repeatedly why group psychotherapy may often be the treatment of choice. Along with Yalom, I would recommend Fehr's edited volume as a staple on a therapist's bookshelf.

Too often training programs are lacking in sufficient courses and experiences in group therapy, leaving therapists learning "on the job". This book goes a long way in thoughtfully providing ways of intervening (including cautions) that a therapist may never have had the opportunity to witness, yet could imagine adapting for their own work, thus increasing repertoire.

While I had the privilege of being one of the authors, it has been an honor to find my contributions surrounded by a breadth of creative, accessible interventions that clearly demonstrate the power of group psychotherapy to invoke and support change. Fehr has again shepherded an outstanding resource.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Bedside Reading!
Reviewed in the United States on December 4, 2008
You might think I am joking, but I mean it! I agree with everyone else here. But I have one thing to add. We all need fresh ideas. We all need to keep up with our professional reading. But when I get home at night, I'm just too tired to pick up some heavy technical stuff and slog through it. The great thing about this book is that you can read one chapter in a short sitting and get one fantastic idea that you can try out in your groups. The fact that all these ideas are tested by the individual writers makes them especially valuable. I have truly enjoyed reading this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Diversity in 101 Interventions
Reviewed in the United States on November 26, 2008
As a contributor to this book, I have a self-interest in a five-star rating for it. That having been said, I do believe that this book is a unique contribution to group psychotherapy. Here's why: it has breadth. Interventions range from addressing the dynamics of a group, to providing support to the group members, to looking at the therapist's self. It has diversity: among the disciplines represented among the authors are nursing, psychiatry, counseling, social work, creative arts therapies, psychology and more. In each chapter, the group membership (those being served) and the group work itself (examples) are described with the utmost of care and respect. I am proud to be among my esteemed colleagues, many of whom I have never met, who contributed to this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Enriching your group interventions - and deeply understanding diversity
Reviewed in the United States on November 16, 2008
I am one of the contributors of a chapter to this book, so I am probably biased. Nevertheless, I think that Dr. Fehr's "101 interventions in group therapy" is a MUST for every group therapist. Its 101 chapters include so many interesting ideas for interventions, and from so many different perspectives. Dr. Fehr gathered a very eloquent group of experts from all over the world, representing a variety of approaches and theoretical points of view in group therapy. Reading this book helped me understand and respect diversity more than I did.
If you are leading groups (any kind) you will find the "101 interventions in group therapy" a valuable source of techniques, exercises, but no less - ideas for leading groups.

5.0 out of 5 stars 101 Interventions in Group Therapy
Reviewed in the United States on November 11, 2008
101 Interventions in Group Therapy

Doing Group Therapy is always a challenge from the neophyte to the most experienced therapist. This book provides ready reference to a wide range of techniques covering diverse problems across a wide range of theoretical orientations. So often an issue might arise within the group and finding a ready reference as this book provides gives the therapist prompt support. It is an esential book for both the individual and institution's library. I only wish such a book had been available when I first began conducting groups some 15 years ago and it is an invaluable resource for me today.
