Exploring Perspectives Group Analytic Psychotherapy in Europe examines the theory, practice, research, and prospective developments of group analytic psychotherapy across European contexts. The volume brings together contributions from authors working in a range of European countries, offering an overview of current approaches within the field.

Individual chapters address the ways in which group analytic psychotherapy is practiced in culturally specific settings, with attention to the adaptation of the approach to local conditions and changing mental health demands. The book also considers the status of research within national clinical communities and outlines possible directions for further development.

The volume is intended for practitioners of group analytic psychotherapy, but also group psychotherapists and for those in training.
