Outpatients is a two-tape set which portrays a re-enactment of four segments of group sessions over the course of a time-limited mixed adult group.

The group session is presented in three segments: introduction, agenda setting, and agenda filling. Dr. Yalom provides commentary before and after each segment, giving clear step-by-step explanations for the structure and specific interventions. You will learn how to run effective groups for the challenging client populations encountered in inpatient settings, structured outpatient programs, and residential treatment facilities.

Volume 3, AN INTERVIEW
In this candid discussion, Yalom discusses group psychotherapy, his existential perspective, and more. He describes the early influences that helped shape his professional life, his insights into the training of group psychotherapists, the healing factors of group work, death anxiety, and his work on bereavement.
