Six bright, successful, and remarkably self-destructive people enter into a course of dynamic group therapy in an effort to recognise and overcome their compulsions, addictions, weaknesses, and family legacies. Granted unlimited access to the sessions and the patients' lives, journalist Paul Solotaroff has captured a compelling real-life drama as it unfolds. Group has the pace of a thriller and the lure of a mystery, as we learn who will triumph and who is beyond help. Under the aegis of a charismatic, maverick psychiatrist, this engaging and diverse group of strangers commiserate with, badger, and urge one another along toward the goal of finding their "true story" - and that is, the life each was meant to lead. Accompanying the revelation of their fears, their hopes, their setbacks, and recoveries are the doctor's acute psychological insights and prescriptions on dilemmas common to us all. Group is, from beginning to end, an absorbing journey along the often excruciating and revelatory path of self-awareness and emotional healing.
