“…The theories of W.R. Bion (7) and Whitaker & Lieberman ( 5 ) have a hegemonic position within the group psycho-therapy field which acknowledges the importance of group-as-a-whole phenomena such as "group cultures". Research methods based on these theories (8)(9)(10)(11) should be relevant for exploring therapeutic Communities.…”

Is the therapeutic community model appropriate for short term psychiatric wards with catchment area responsibility and emergency obligations? A comparative study of group dynamics, measured by Group Emotionality Rating System and Group Focal Conflict Analysis within three different therapeutic community wards, revealed that the short term ward contained extreme fight/flight groups and pseudo-groups unable to deal with the delegated responsibility presupposed by the therapeutic community model. The intermediate ward functioned fairly well, while the long term ward for psychotherapy of schizophrenia and personality disorders also functioned badly from a therapeutic community proper point of view. The author discusses these findings in light of previous literature and concludes that the therapeutic community proper is predominantly a treatment model relevant for personality disorders and severe neuroses, and not adequate for the multiplicity of emergency tasks facing a short term psychiatric ward.

“…The GERS rates emotionality present in the group through statement-by-statement ratings of emotion. Karterud ( 1990) considered the ratings of statements as "microunits" of speech. Taken together and summed across larger, more natural segments such as sessions, these microunits may accurately indicate the BA emotionality and defensive processes present in the group as a whole.…”

is a scholarly work. This book is written as a guide to assist the reader in understanding and developing evidence-based group work (EBGW). This highly organized guide emphasizes and describes the process of evidencebased practice (EBP) evolving to EBGW. This would be an excellent textbook for an undergraduate-or graduate-level academic course on group therapy. Psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and other counselors would perhaps be wise to become familiar with this work. This outstanding book is also practical. Each chapter is filled with very useful information on the approach of EBGW. Clinicians and researchers would benefit from learning and using this material in their group work. As an invaluable resource, it put forth a framework for current and future practice in group work. Important resources fill the book's chapters with current facts, Web site information, and an extensive review of the process of evaluating research studies. The importance of best evidence, application in practice, and evaluation are essential to EBGW, and this provides the conceptual framework for the entire book. The author presents a strong perspective for creating best practices for EBGW. The content is constructed into three parts and a total of six chapters. Part I, Chapter 1, reviews six assumptions of EBGW. It then focuses on the historical origins and development of evidence-based medicine and EBP. In Part II, Chapters 2, 3, 4, and 5 describe in great detail the four stages necessary to operationalize EBGW. The four stages are: formulate an answerable question; search for evidence; undertake a critical review of the evidence; and apply the evidence with judgment and skill and evaluate outcomes. Part III, Chapter 6, is entirely devoted to the dissemination of EBGW in research, clinical practice, and education. The transrelational research approach described in this chapter explores how a planned, system-wide collaboration between education, research, and clinical practice could be achieved. Such an organizational context supportive of EBGW would use practice-relevant research readily available to group workers, with ongoing education and consultation to all. EvidenceBasedGroupWork.com is a Web site evolved from the author's book. The site also serves as a link to research-based evidence about group
