Group Therapy: A Live Demonstration
Group therapy sets the stage for a study in character and transformation in Yalom’s novel. Master group therapist and teacher Molyn Leszcz leads two groups based on the characters and plot, which allows for the major themes and dynamics that occur in all working groups to quickly emerge in full force: authentic interpersonal engagement and feedback, conflict, jealousy, and the prospect of real intimacy.
 
Additionally, you will see Leszcz skillfully demonstrate the core techniques in Yalom’s interpersonal model of group psychotherapy: activating here-and-now interactions, reflection on group process, and the judicious use of therapist transparency. Commentary by Yalom and Leszcz help the viewer gain deeper understanding of the subtleties and nuances that occur in these fast-paced groups.

"This wonderful demonstration of group therapy, based on Yalom's novel 'The Schopenhauer Cure', clearly exemplifies Yalom's approach to groups, in which the therapist's interventions are targeted at the process, and stay in the here-and-now. The group vignettes, led by Molyn Leszcz, are rich and vivid, and the discussion by Irv Yalom himself deepens understanding the therapist's role. A must for every group therapist student and practitioner."
 - Haim Weinberg, PhD, Fellow AGPA, Publisher, group-psychotherapy.com

"I have watched many videos that demonstrate group therapy and this is the best one for demonstrating technique for both new and seasoned group therapists. It has the added bonus of having the clinical analysis of Irvin Yalom, MD and the gifted therapeutic skills of Molyn Leszcz, MD. Actors working without a script gives this a 'live' feeling. My students have been riveted from the moment it begins. I highly recommend this for any training facility."

 - Rose P. Phelps, MFT, Group Training Supervisor and Faculty, The Psychotherapy Institute, Berkeley, CA

This video captures a historic presentation at the American Group Psychotherapy Association Annual Meeting, and the release on DVD has been eagerly anticipated.  It is a must see for group therapists and fans of Irvin Yalom and Molyn Leszcz alike.  The video is enhanced by a discussion between Irvin Yalom and  Victor Yalom.

By watching this video, you will:
• See Yalom’s model of group therapy in action.
• Learn techniques for engaging and maintaining the group in here-and-now interactions.
• Gain a deeper understanding of the theory and practice of this approach.

This promises to be a valuable training video for years to come....and is entertaining to boot.  If you haven't read The Schopehauer Cure, this video should inspire you to do so. The actors do a superb job of embodying the characters of this novel.

If you want a DVD that provides systematic training in group therapy, we would recommend the classic series by Yalom Understanding Group Psychotherapy, but if you want a more current video to supplement your training, and see another therapist's style of leading Yalom style interpersonally oriented group, then Group Therapy: A Live Demonstration will fit the bill.
