Here's an update from my corner of the universe:
The Special Issue on Women and Group Therapy in the International Journal of Group Psychotherapyopens in new window is out. Co-edited by Jill Paquin, PhD, and Nikki Coleman, PhD, the Issue features work from an incredible group of mostly women-identified authors. "I am assigning readings from this Issue in my group therapy class" notes Dennis Kivlighan, Jr., PhD, as this special issue fills an important gap in the literature on group therapy. Several of the articles (including the Introduction) have also been made available free of charge by the publisher for a limited time.
