GROUP is a quarterly journal that publishes articles and reviews on the use of groups in the service of healing. 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 invites articles that integrate perspectives from social work, psychology, politics, sociology, history, arts, economics, healthcare, education, and organizational dynamics. Although the journal primarily focuses on the application and experience of group process and practice, GROUP also publishes relevant research articles.
Continuously published since 1976, GROUP is the journal of the Eastern Group Psychotherapy Society, a regional affiliate of the American Group Psychotherapy Association.
