Irvin Yalom advocates that people are free and should be responsible for their own choices and actions. Therefore, he believes that in the process of group psychotherapy, the topics explored with clients should include self-awareness, freedom and responsibility, self-identity and interpersonal relationships, and the meaning of life.
Based on the above cognition, in the classic book "Awakening and Transcendence: Group Psychotherapy with Inpatients", Irvin Yalom proposed that therapists should not lead group therapy as an authority or host, but should integrate into the group as a relatively transparent participant, set the patterns and rules of group interaction with the goal of promoting group work, and help members establish a supportive, cohesive and vibrant micro-social model, allowing members to discover personal problems through self-exposure, and then repair them with the help of interpersonal interaction "here and now", laying a solid foundation for rebuilding personal lives.
