Abstract

T he Ethics of Group Psychotherapy is another star in the series of books published by the American Group Psychotherapy Association under the auspices and leadership of the Science to Service Task Force, part of the AGPA Group Therapy Training and Practice series. The purpose of this series is to produce group therapy related textbooks that are clinically applicable, relevant and acc essible. This book very much meets and exemplifies that standard. As a member of this Task Force, and a former AGPA President, I am deeply mindful of all these perspectives in my review. It is worth noting that one of the authors, Rebecca MacNairSemands serves double duty in both coauthoring this textbook with her colleague Virginia Brabender and cochairing the Science to Service Task Force. Both AGPA and the group therapists who will read this textbook are the beneficiaries of this leadership and coauthorship. Our work as group psychotherapists is bolstered by our capacity to reflect on our work and engage in the deliberate practice of our craft. Understanding the ethical dimensions of our work nourishes this reflective and deliberate approach. Since the first ethics-focused text was authored in 2005 by Rebecca MacNair-Semands, our field has changed dramatically in ways that are particularly salient to the ethical dimensions of group psychotherapy. This text does a very effective, clear and engaging job of illuminating the ethical dimensions of our new environment. Key issues include ethical dimensions related to race, identity, discrimination and social justice; new technological platforms in the way group therapy is delivered; the impact of measurement-based care; greater accountability regarding the delivery of group therapy; and, greater threats to the International Journal of Group Psychotherapy, 73: 166–173, 2023 © 2023 The American Group Psychotherapy Association, Inc.

团体心理治疗的伦理:原则与实践策略

《团体心理治疗伦理》是美国团体心理治疗协会在科学服务工作组的主持和领导下出版的系列书籍中的另一位明星，该工作组是AGPA团体治疗培训和实践系列的一部分。本系列的目的是制作临床适用、相关和可接受的团体治疗相关教材。这本书非常符合并体现了这一标准。作为该工作组的成员和AGPA前主席，我在审查中深切注意到所有这些观点。值得注意的是，作者之一Rebecca MacNairSemands在与同事Virginia Brabender共同撰写这本教科书和共同主持科学服务工作组方面负有双重职责。AGPA和将阅读本教材的团体治疗师都是这种领导力和合著者的受益者。我们作为团队心理治疗师的工作，得益于我们反思自己工作并认真实践自己技艺的能力。了解我们工作的道德层面，滋养了这种反思和深思熟虑的方法。自从Rebecca MacNair Semands于2005年撰写了第一篇以伦理为重点的文本以来，我们的领域发生了巨大的变化，在群体心理治疗的伦理层面上尤为突出。这篇文章非常有效、清晰和引人入胜，阐明了我们新环境的伦理层面。关键问题包括与种族、身份、歧视和社会正义有关的伦理层面；提供团体治疗方式的新技术平台；基于测量的护理的影响；在提供团体治疗方面加强问责制；以及，对《国际群体心理治疗杂志》的更大威胁，73:166–1732023©2023美国群体心理治疗协会，股份有限公司ISSN:0020-7284打印/1943-2836在线DOI:https://doi.org/10.1080/00207284.2022.2155001
