Introduction issn 0362-4021 © 2017 Eastern Group Psychotherapy Society group, Vol. 41, No. 1, Spring 2017 7 In this issue, we have a nicely balanced combination of articles and reviews. Chris Mertzanakis discusses group work with sex offenders in prison in the United Kingdom, and Yaniv Spinzy describes the use of computers in group work with schizophrenic patients, while Michelle Miller Bohls discusses the need to discuss issues relating to money in group therapy. In the latest installment of Thinking About Our Work, Dominick Grundy, editor of the International Journal of Group Psychotherapy, addresses issues of work and writing. Claudia Arlo, Richard M. Billow, Nina W. Brown, and Sara Emerson respond to his essay, and then Dr. Grundy replies to their comments. We close with four book reviews: Chera M.
