Review: Dr. Fehr never disappoints. His down-to-earth, no nonsense approach makes his knowledge and experience extremely accessible, not only to students and professionals, but for anyone with a keen interest in understanding human behavior. His honesty is as refreshing as his insights are brilliant.
What's not to recommend!!!!

Summary: Bravo Dr. Fehr
Review: Dr. Fehr's book was designed for students--and is laid out in a most convenient way for them--even with questions at the end of each chapter. But, as a teacher and long-time practitioner of group therapy, I found it to be engrossing, well presented, and helpful. There is one especially interesting chapter where several guest contributors each discuss the same case fragment from differing points of view. This book is an excellent addition to the libaries of both students and teachers of the art.

Summary: Clarity where clarity is sorely needed.
Review: Every once in awhile, a book comes along in our field that sheds new light on an important topic in a clear, understandable manner without diluting the information. Dr. Fehr's practical guide to group is one such example. He has provided something for everyone, from the beginning group therapist to the experienced clinician. His real life vignettes highlight technical aspects of conducting group therapy, provide the reader with often poignant, sometimes funny, and highly illustrative examples of various group phenomena, and bring to life what too often in our field is dryly presented. Dr. Fehr's communiction style challenges us, makes us laugh, take pause, reflect, and ultimately come away feeling revitalized in our work with groups. His review of the history of group therapy is the most compelling I have ever read. A must read for graduate students and senior group therapists alike.

Summary: BEAUTIFULLY WRITTEN
Review: I have just finished reading Dr. Scott Simon Fehr's Introduction to Group Therapy: A practical guide (2nd.Ed.)and was amazed on how much I enjoyed a text book. This book was given to me for a birthday present and even though I am a psychologist, I thought, "Why would someone give me a text book for my birthday?" After all I have been out of school for years but truly I am delighted this person did. This book was beautifully written with an engaging style that is seen in few text books and part of the engagement is due to Dr. Fehr putting himself out there and talking about his personal experiences running groups. It too is a funny book. I roar when I read his first group experience in a state psychiatric facility. Simply because I could identify and it brought back a flood of memories. Well done, Dr. Fehr
