Group counselling, group counseling, and group therapy are professional helpers. Since they were introduced to the Chinese mainland in the early 1990s, they have gradually become effective in schools, medical institutions, business organizations, and the military because of their effectiveness and wide benefits. The justice and community are widely used and developed.
Groups are a cost-effective and effective way to help those with common development issues and similar psychological distress, which has become the consensus of professional helpers. As a helper, whether your professional training background is clinical psychology, counseling psychology, mental health education, or social work, medicine, nursing; whether your theoretical orientation is cognitive behavioral therapy or psychoanalytic therapy School, or humanistic therapy school; whether your workplace is in a primary or secondary school, college, or enterprise organization, medical and health department, social welfare agency, military, judicial or other places, professional psychological services are nothing more than There are two forms of individual consultation, one-on-one service and group consultation with multiple participants. The effectiveness of group counseling and treatment has been proven by numerous studies. It is not only an effective method of psychological counseling and treatment, but also an effective method of education and promotion of growth. Compared with individual services, the group is more effective because it is very close to people's real life situations. It is like a laboratory of life. The attitudes and behaviors learned in the group, changed emotions and cognition, Easier to migrate to real life.
In fact, people's growth and development can never be separated from the group. People have survived, lived and grown up in groups from birth, helping them to be more natural, real, and effective in the form of groups. Of course, group counselling and treatment can enable professional helpers to provide more people with psychological services in a limited time. This is also the most urgent and urgent task for domestic mental health services because of the social demand for mental health services. Very strong and involved all kinds of people. I have been engaged in teaching, research, practice and training in group counseling and treatment for more than 20 years. I firmly believe that the charm and effect of groups can not only improve personal mental health, but also benefit our society and our country, our organization and family.
However, because the process of group consultation and treatment is very complicated and the dynamics of the group are changing, group leaders must pay attention to the group and the intervention group from the three levels of individual, interpersonal, and group levels, which makes the training of group leaders more difficult and requires more high. The reality that worries me most is that systematic group psychological counseling and treatment training is relatively lacking. Those who have learned a little group rush into the battle before they can get professional guidance. They mistakenly lead structured group exercises as leading group counseling, which cannot be achieved. The effect of group consultation. In developed countries and regions, professionals engaged in psychological counseling must have graduate education in formal related majors (psychology, medicine, education, social work), and then hundreds of thousands of hours of practical skills in internship institutions. People training and passing professional qualification exams. For people trained in this way, group psychological counseling and treatment are necessary abilities. For example, the eight core core courses required for graduate students studying psychological counseling in the United States must include group counseling (including counseling theory and technology, group counseling, career development / developmental psychology, psychological testing, multicultural counseling, statistics, and mental illness. And diagnostics, professional ethics and internships). In Taiwan, counseling psychologists trained by the Department of Counseling and Counseling Psychology at universities must undergo a four-year graduate-level postgraduate education (including two years of basic and professional courses, one year of full-time internship, and one year of master's thesis writing). ), After graduating to obtain a degree, is eligible to examine the professional qualifications of a counseling psychologist. In the course of graduate education, group counseling is also a core course in compulsory courses (Taking the Department of Counseling and Clinical Psychology at Donghua University in Taiwan as an example, the core curriculum includes five subjects: psychological assessment, psychological test, psychological assessment; individual counseling Counseling and psychotherapy; group counseling and psychotherapy; community mental health promotion; clinical ethics regulations). At least three credits of group counselling or group therapy are required for the core course. The Taiwan Psychologist Law stipulates that there must be six kinds of practical training during the full-time internship stage, and one of them has a clear training hours for group counseling and psychotherapy. The government-organized "Consultation Psychologist" exam must test "group counseling and psychotherapy" in six subjects. In other words, as a counselor or psychotherapist, mastering the skills of group counseling is just like mastering the skills of individual counseling. It is basic, necessary, necessary, and necessary.
But unfortunately, in the face of the increasing demand for mental health services from the public, domestic psychological counseling and treatment have not yet formed a large-scale academic education, and due to the lack of teachers in most on-the-job training, the content of group counseling is often left untested. Professional training has a feeling of lack of arms and legs. Although, since 2000, I have been involved in training materials for psychological counselors and psychotherapists in the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Health, training materials for key teachers in mental health education and counseling in the Ministry of Education, and training materials for employee aid teachers. In the professional training materials, I was responsible for writing the relevant chapters of group counseling, group counseling, and group therapy, and also insisted on carrying out professional training for group psychological counseling for more than 20 years. However, an indisputable fact still lies ahead. There are too few professionals who receive group psychological counseling system training and master group counseling skills, and can effectively provide group counseling and treatment services according to the needs of clients. There is an urgent need to develop and expand training. . Whether it is a counseling practitioner who is working or a student who is studying counseling and therapy in school, they need to learn and practice the theory and skills of group work.
For this reason, in my graduate training in clinical and counseling psychology in the Department of Psychology at Tsinghua University, I have explored and tried to establish a group counseling and treatment professional skills training system composed of six courses, including personal group experience, clinical and Consulting psychology topics, group psychological counseling, group psychological therapy workshops, clinical psychological practice and supervision, clinical psychological internships, at least 250 hours of professional skills training in group skills. In the past 20 years, we have compiled "Theory and Practice of Group Counseling", "Group Psychological Counseling", "Group Psychological Counseling", "Personal and Mental Health Counseling Model: Chinese Culture and Group Counseling", "Group Psychological Counseling: Theory, Technology and Monographs and teaching materials such as Design, Application Cases of Structural Group Consulting. A learning and training model for the leadership of professional helper groups has been initially established.
However, to cultivate solid leaders who lead different types of groups, and to develop competent group counselors and therapists, what is needed most now is to refer to the most representative textbooks and books on group counseling and group therapy in the world. . In recent years, although domestic progress has been rapid in translating foreign professional books on psychological counseling and psychotherapy, there are few translations related to group counseling and group therapy, only 3 to 4 books, which are difficult to meet different positions and different service targets. Need for group work.
In October 2011, the Group Psychological Counseling and Therapy Professional Committee of the Chinese Mental Health Association (hereinafter referred to as the Group Special Committee) was established, which marked that China's group cause has entered a new stage of development. I am honored to be the first chairman of the group committee. The group committee is an academic institution that shoulders the mission of promoting the prosperity and development of the group. One of the tasks is to introduce high-level professional books as a reference for training and teaching, and as a tool for learning and practice. To this end, we have carefully selected several internationally representative group consultation and treatment books to form a "group psychological consultation and group psychotherapy series", which is recommended to domestic professionals. After discussions by the group committee and my working team, the selected series were selected based on the following principles:
It has the role of a tool guide; It introduces the basic knowledge; It has the role of guiding the application of group work; Groups of different schools and different forms. Based on this principle, we have initially selected the Handbook of Group Counseling and Psychotherapy, The Counselor and the Group: Integrating Theory, Training, and Practice), "Cognitive Therapy in Groups: Guidelines and Resources for Practice", "Basics of Group Psychotherapy" and other books, covering macro introduction, theoretical knowledge, different schools (identification Cognitive behavior, psychological dynamics, etc.). For example, the "Group Counseling and Group Therapy Guide", which was first translated and published, is an encyclopedia of group counseling and therapy, whether it is engaged in school education, psychological counseling, clinical treatment, medical institutions, business organizations, community services, Or work in special areas such as military management, prison correction, crisis intervention, etc. You can find content that meets your needs and has reference value for your work. This book will definitely become an excellent reference book for group consultation and treatment learning.
Whether foreign professional books can play their due function and role, the quality of translation is very important. Therefore, we have formed a professional translation team. The translators are almost all from my team, including postdoctoral, doctoral, master, and visiting scholars. As well as the trainees I trained, as well as the young backbone of the group committee, they first have great interest in group work. They have followed me in studying group counseling and group therapy for many years. They have both the theoretical knowledge of group work and group-led Practical experience, and have an international perspective and proficiency in English, willing to invest time in the translation process of the series. Based on the content of each book, I divided the translators into groups and were responsible for the translation of each book. They exchange reading experiences every week, discuss key points and difficulties, and discuss appropriate translation languages. I believe that such a professional translation team can accurately translate the essence of this series of books, so as to promote the theoretical study of group work in China in the macro direction, theoretical foundation, specific practical operations and application fields. Application climbs to new heights.
In terms of scientific research and practice of group work, the group committee will also continue to promote the standardization of group psychological counseling and treatment training through the development of industry standards and ethical norms. I believe that with a broad international perspective and reference for successful experiences, and practical exploration and summary based on the local environment, more outstanding group leaders will grow rapidly. We look forward to the healthy development of group counseling and treatment in the mainland of China. For the happiness of the Chinese people, the prosperity of the country, and the contribution of our professional group!
The publication of this series of books has received strong support from the Machinery Industry Press. Ms. Li Xinwei is pleased to agree to work with the group committee to promote the publication of this series of books. Thank you very much.

Practical Reading and Co-learning: Immerse in Basic and Deep
In the middle of summer, I was traveling between the lectured cities and received the good news and invitation from Dr. Xiaohua. I happened to ride the high-speed rail through a verdant paddy field and felt a joy of vitality and injected new energy. Important practical books to write recommendations. Between joy, affirmation, and anticipation for the publication of this book, a little more moved. For the publication of more professional group therapy books, especially those who can focus on such important areas, present such important practical works to friends in the field of psychological counseling and therapy, Professor Fan Fuyi's team continues to work hard and support this The publishing team is truly admirable.
Group work is the most suitable psychological work mode for Chinese people. Regardless of age, background, gender, education level, issues or topics of concern, a group of people can come together, connect and concern each other, and promote change and growth in support or mutual feedback. For our view of inclusiveness and harmony of groupness, sociality, and interpersonal connection, a good group participation process is the most natural and the best environment to effectively help individuals. This "Basics of Group Psychotherapy" is a professional book co-authored by two outstanding American practice experts. Although it is called basics, it is actually very in-depth and pragmatic. Many of the problems faced have very detailed explanations and unique insights. From actual group construction (for example, planning considerations, selection procedures, differences in group exploration and support-oriented interventions), to group practice interventions (for example, how to choose focus in complex group phenomena, and for group interaction issues) And practical suggestions for difficult problems), many examples are presented. From the perspective of the group as a whole, interpersonal interaction, and personal internal journey work, this book can thoroughly and specifically explore the actual leadership of the group.
One of the most important points to recommend is that the book's broad and flexible exploration of practical issues and systematic consideration of group-related issues can help beginner readers understand the richness and effectiveness of group psychotherapy. What brings to experienced group workers is very direct and deep tacit understanding. The practical friends who have entered the field of group psychological work for many years should often feel the same. The more they practice, the more complex and difficult to grasp the group work, the changing interpersonal interaction and personal presentation, and the more complicated is the need to identify the group motivation , And turned to know how to lead and make good use of the group to help the participating visitors. This book can take into account the theory, and lead us to systematically deduce or understand the clinical practice phenomenon from various possibilities step by step from the work tasks or problems faced by practitioners. It is very useful for guiding readers to learn the practical topics of the community. Great help.
From the perspective of years of experience in group practice and teaching supervision, I personally feel that this book is different from the general textbook in writing style and purpose: focusing on the deep inspiration of "thinking" in writing and presentation, and depicting the "context" phenomenon And discussion, and look forward to focusing on the "subject" of practitioners, rather than simply teaching technology and practices. Because of this, Dr. Xiaohua can translate this book in detail. In addition to the challenges and presentation of Daya, he has contributed a lot to the more advanced learning of practitioners. Regarding this book, I still refer to my personal sparse opinions and offer some professional characteristics for readers' reference:
First, has long been the study of psychological counseling and treatment as a "technical" study or a "human" training? Among the methods of group psychotherapy, the author of this book reminds an important path. For example, when chapter 4 mentioned the study of technology, it mentioned that therapeutic technology is only a secondary important issue in the practice of treatment. When the therapist is excellent, the technique is unconscious. It reflects the essence of this. Between the mind and benevolence, as a group psychotherapy professional "person", the thinking and experience reflections and opinions on group leadership and intervention are always important for the knowledge or technical learning of the fragments. Although this book is called "Basic", it actually responds to the needs of experts who are actually on the road to practice. The writing and writing room actually and richly presents the core knowledge needed to become a professional group healer. This is its important feature.
Second, between the diversity of group work, this book clearly mentions the essence of therapeutic psychological groups. The Association for Specialists in Group Work (ASGW) classifies a wide range of group work into four types based on their different characteristics: tasks and working groups; counselling and psychological education groups; counseling and interpersonal orientation Problem-solving groups; Psychotherapy and personality reconstruction-oriented groups. Group work has many forms and can be widely applied in various professional fields such as business management, team building, nursing and medical care, social work, functional therapy, and school counselling, psychological counseling, and mental health. Borrowing the theory of therapeutic groups to psychological counseling or counseling groups vaguely, although they can be integrated with each other at the level of group motivation, the application of various groups in various fields actually has its own unique ideas and practices. This book clearly bases its theory on psychotherapy groups and discusses group practice within the framework of therapeutic work. In Chapter 6, the choice of interventions, explore in simple terms different levels of severity (hospitalization, partial admission / day stay, outpatient clinics) and non-psychotherapeutic group help work, or long-term and short-term groups. The identification and strengthening of helping knowledge systems, the relevant chapters of practical discussions also highlight the important value and focus of "therapeutic groups", so that professional learners can see trees and forests, understand the principles of group healing corners from reading, and Positioning and connection of learning.
The restoration of the dialogue scene is the third important feature of this book. It is the best way to learn from practice by citing actual group dialogues or cases to understand group phenomena and important concepts. This book just starts from this perspective, allowing readers to think about complex personal experiences or interpersonal interactions through cases, and also extends practical thinking from multiple angles from a practical situation.
The most special feature of this book lies in the principled thinking of group therapy practice and multiple references that bring out the group idea. Different from group psychological counseling, which focuses on actual life dilemmas or issues, the treatment group focuses on the intervention or reconstruction of the internal psychological model, and promotes the client to change, grow, or change to the internal state through a certain process. Each school of therapy may define transformation or transformation differently. This practice book not only develops from practice, but also from several early important theories to trigger our discussion of group processes, from classical psychoanalysis, basic hypothetical groups, focus conflict theory, system theory, psychological analysis, here and now, In terms of cognitive behavior and other orientations, let us consider the core important issue: "What is a group?" Although we have not tried to completely cover the various orientations of group psychotherapy theory, we have been able to present different connotations and forms in a wave form. We know that the ideological evolution of psychological counseling and therapy theory has its historically progressive nature of paradigm shifts. The flexibility of transposition thinking and displacement from different orientations is very important in clinical thinking training. This book rarely uses many examples, from different This is the most exhilarating part of precisely explaining the motivation of the psychotherapy community.
Reading this book with your heart and mind is instantly immersive, especially those who have practiced farming for more than three or two years, and you can better see their arguments and lead you into a deep common learning environment; between the foundations, there is profound insight. The translator's effort is also deeply felt in the reading room. Although I have studied for many years, if I re-read this book, I still see the depth of it. I look forward to the practice and research of group psychological work in the Mainland, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan. This book is really an important classic that can advance the professional community. I strongly recommend and hope that there are many readers who love group psychological work. Immersed together, learning and advancing together.

After more than a year, the translation of "Basics of Group Psychotherapy" was finally completed. Tonight, the night was so dark and utterly silent. After proofreading the translation of the last page, I felt full of joy. The joy comes from the trust in this book. I believe It will definitely become a desk essential for group practitioners.
Since the introduction of group work in the mainland of China in the 1990s by Professors Fan Fuzheng and Yang Mei, etc., due to its novel, lively form, and greater number of participants, it has quickly become popular in all walks of life and played a very important role. Various books also came into being, such as "Group Psychological Counseling" and "Application Examples of Structured Group Counseling and Counseling" by Professor Fan Fuzhen, and there have also been groups applied to different groups, such as class group psychological counseling, soldier group psychological counseling, college students Group psychological counseling, etc.
Later, non-structural therapeutic groups also began to prevail, and awareness and treatment of group dynamics began to become the ability of group workers to focus, learn, and focus on improving. Relevant books are represented by the works of Irving Yaron, such as "Group Psychotherapy: Theory and Practice" "Schopenhauer's Treatment" and so on.
In addition, books on the concept of psychoanalysis in the market also introduce related motivations in groups, such as Projective and Introverted Identity and Internalization.
The biggest difference in this book is that it introduces the concepts, processes and considerations of leading a therapeutic group in detail in the order of forming the group. First introduced how to select group members, what are the selection criteria, how to evaluate, how to train therapists to select patients; then introduced the development stage of different groups; then introduced group leaders from forming groups, starting groups, to The treatment of different group stages, and finally the process of ending the group; Chapter 4 introduces some theories and core concepts of therapeutic groups; Chapter 5 vividly introduces difficult patients and challenging scenarios through cases and exercises; Chapter 6 Chapter introduces how to choose different group intervention schemes according to different patients; Chapter 7 introduces the relevant theories of group treatment. The book is concise, easy to operate, instructive, and readable. It makes up for the shortcomings of books in the field of group work. It is suitable for all group therapists and is a must-read for group consultants.
This book is translated by Lu Xiaohua, Yan Bo, and Zhang Shuaihua. The three of us form a translation team. We meet online once a week to discuss the content of translation. It is also a process of learning from each other. This process becomes a good memory. The whole book was finally reviewed by Lu Xiaohua. Due to the limited ability of expressing words, it may not be possible to accurately express the essence of the original text. There are deficiencies, please understand.

This book is aimed at clinicians who are just beginning to be trained or practised, or at least clinicians who are beginning to consider using group psychotherapy as one of their "support skills". Our goal is to focus on specific technologies-some specific details about the treatment community involved. This book was born as a supplement to the standard group psychotherapy textbook. The organization of this book is like you are organizing a group, starting with selecting patients for a specific group (Chapter 1), then introducing some perspectives on the group development process (Chapter 2); then introducing the challenges and challenges faced by leaders of the treatment group Opportunities (next three chapters); an overview of the knowledge of the different types of groups today, including "non-psychotherapy" groups (chapter 6); and finally the different theories applicable to the therapeutic group (last chapter). The chapter order of this book is the opposite of that of most psychotherapy books. In other books, the emphasis at the beginning is often on theory.
We try to focus on what we actually need to do as a group newbie. This book focuses on how you, as a group therapist, can make your group the most effective. This means taking a step back and thinking. You are a therapist who provides treatment services through groups, not a therapist who provides services through interactions with individual patients.
Group psychotherapy requires additional skills that are not available through the training and experience of individual psychotherapy. The most important or sensitive of these skills is the ability to conceptualize groups as a system. To a certain extent, this skill is similar to the paradigm shift required for family therapy. From time to time, all group therapists are subjected to the pull: individual treatment in group settings, and many patients have such expectations. It is an ongoing task for the therapist to resist such thrust.
The healing community is a tool for acting, it can also be a tool for understanding how a member presents his situation in his interpersonal world. In order to facilitate the functioning of this function, experienced therapists will constantly promote interaction between members, and after the interaction, reflect on the power revealed by the interaction. This process is particularly important in the early stages of group development. The primary task of the early stage is to promote the development of group cohesion. Group cohesion is a similar concept to the "therapy alliance" in individual therapy. They are the prerequisites for effective treatment.
Over the past 15 years, many concerted efforts have shown that psychotherapy is effective. Numerous controlled studies have shown that the overall treatment effect reaches the level of 0.85, that is, 85% of patients receiving psychological treatment have significant effects compared with patients in the control group. As for these effects, it is not known whether the effects of individual treatment and group treatment are the same. For this reason, the use of group therapy among all treatment methods has aroused great interest. Groups have extremely significant advantages in terms of efficiency, and their therapeutic effects are remarkable. In addition, follow-up studies have shown that most patients participating in group therapy have achieved positive results in a relatively short period, usually months. As a result, long-range groups are increasingly likely to be used only in patients with severe dysfunction.
Group psychotherapy can be viewed as a form through which a variety of different types of treatment can be performed. In Chapter 1, Piper and McCallum describe a very cautious approach to patient selection that integrates very clearly and completely with the characteristics of the group the therapist plans to treat. An effective group usually looks like this: after careful and thorough thinking, adopting a specific method, and carefully selecting patients who might benefit from this method to join the group. In other words, the term "group psychotherapy" is not informative and rich, it describes the structure, but it does not describe the content of the treatment.
Another important point in understanding group events is the stage of development. Understanding these stages helps the therapist to think ahead about what might happen, so that early signs can be identified and addressed in advance. In Chapter 2, Mackenzie describes a sequence common to all groups, including the four stages of development, and describes the tasks and events that must be processed at each stage.
The main content of Chapters 3 to 5 is the complex challenges of different aspects related to group leadership. In Chapter 3, Dess details specific leadership tasks and skills. In Chapter 4, Potter explained some of the basic issues that all group leaders are concerned about: impedance, empathy, the original motivation of the group, and the emergence of countertransference. He also discussed the negative effects of some groups' annoying but rarely discussed group therapy on some members. These effects can be reduced through training and technology, but cannot be completely eliminated. In Chapter 5, Bernard describes a series of issues that group therapists often face: visitors and scenarios, and suggests some specific coping strategies.
In Chapter 6, Schoenholz-Reid describes in detail a number of different types of groups. She proposes criteria to help the therapist decide what group interventions are appropriate for a particular individual and how to choose the best group experience for the visitor.
Chapter 7 is purposeful at the end of this book. This chapter provides a concise review of some of the major theories that help leaders understand group processes. Group theory is difficult to understand unless individuals actually experience the group environment. , Or it is boring to read. The pressure generated within a group can be elusive, unmistakable, and difficult to describe. This chapter provides some concepts to help understand and try to solve some of these group phenomena.
We hope that this book can encourage readers to start working in the field of therapeutic groups, or go further on the path of group therapy. Although groups are complex and sometimes make people feel overwhelmed, they are also very exciting at the same time: Groups can really change the lives of their members and make the therapists in group therapy feel great. Satisfaction. For these reasons, we have devoted a lot of time and energy to lead the group, teach others to lead the group, and set up the books we have learned. We hope that you will love the cause of group therapy as much as we do.
