GROUP
The Journal of the Eastern Group Psychotherapy Society
Description and Mission
GROUP is the journal of the Eastern Group Psychotherapy Society that publishes articles and reviews on the use of groups in the service of healing. GROUP is a scholarly quarterly that publishes articles and reviews on group psychotherapy and group phenomena in general.
The journal encourages creative thought and dissemination of knowledge about group processes and welcomes multiple theoretical orientations, contexts, purposes, and ideologies. Aspiring to be intentionally anti-oppressive to all people, GROUP seeks to advance scholarship that exemplifies respect for the historical and current contexts, needs, values, and strengths of cultures, races, and genders typically under- and misrepresented in post-colonial literature. The Journal encourages early-career and clinicians from historically excluded groups to submit manuscripts for consideration.
