Abstract

It is with the greatest amount of gratification that I have seen the tremen- dous bibliography on group psychotherapy compiled by Dr. Raymond J. Corsini and Lloyd Putzey. Little did I trunk a short quarter-century ago when I coined the term "group psychotherapy," and when in the succeeding years I watched the slow halting uncertain steps of this new discipline as it matured that some day there would be a bibliography of more than a thousand and a half items. Group psychotherapy is not the province of any single discipline nor is it the exclusive area of any profession; group psychotherapy belongs to all; and it is in all its complexity, with all its confusions, an essential part of humanity. It represents an almost desperate search for brotherhood, a looking for that state of complete acceptance of self and others, the arrival of a time when each person can be himself and exercise his complete potentialities. It is a revolu- tion in psychotherapy: an escape from the priest-class towards the masses
