  • The use of a discrete large group in a conference setting as consultation
           and community building

    • Free pre-print version: Loading...

      Authors: Jale Cilasun, John Hook
      Abstract: Group Analysis, Ahead of Print.
      The aim of this paper is to describe the use of a discrete, two session large group in an organizational conference setting (of the Faculty of Medical Psychotherapy), which gave insight into unconscious systemic dynamics that affect the organization. In line with a tradition of the use of experiential large group experiences in organizational settings, we illustrate how such a group can be used as a consultative process through bringing forward fresh insights with a compelling emotional intensity and in community building through sharing experiences at a time of stress in mental health services with feelings of increasing isolation. Such insights can aid the organization and its elected officials in leading and developing strategy, whilst community building can lead to collective responsibility-taking and development of collegial relationships which serve to reduce isolation. We clarify different possible functions of the experiential large group in organizational conference settings including consultation regarding systemic dynamics, community building and affective integration of learning.

  • Mourning becomes us

    • Free pre-print version: Loading...

      Authors: Margherita Castellani
      Abstract: Group Analysis, Ahead of Print.
      This paper posits that mourning is fundamentally a social process. The inability to mourn has dangerous consequences for the individual and for society. Social support and community networks are necessary in order to tolerate the pain of loss and overcome the resistance through sharing in the group. Based on clinical material from a two-year analytic training group run in an NHS psychotherapy department, the author argues that the developmental and therapeutic process of the group corresponded to the unfolding of the mourning process. The development of the capacity to mourn brought transformation in the group, leading to a more coherent sense of identity, both of individual members and of the group as a whole.

  • Giving birth to the unborn: Processing the experience of sibling abortion
           and transgenerational trauma in groups

    • Free pre-print version: Loading...

      Authors: Ying Liu
      Abstract: Group Analysis, Ahead of Print.
      In this article, I will present a personal journey of making sense of the experience of sibling abortion under China’s Once-child Policy and transgenerational trauma related to China’s Cultural Revolution in a group analysis training group. The first part of this paper will reflect on and analyse how groups helped me to claim the identity as a mourner, allowed both the presence and absence of my unborn brother to become real, and offered me reparative family relationships when I dealt with my grief. Drawing on the concept of large-group identity and transgenerational transmission, the second part of this paper will explore how experiences in groups enabled me to discover and understand the transgenerational transmission of trauma related to the Cultural Revolution in my family.

  • A narrative review of group analytic literature on clinical supervision:
           Seeking coherence and correspondence

    • Free pre-print version: Loading...

      Authors: Aisling McMahon
      Abstract: Group Analysis, Ahead of Print.
      A systematic narrative literature review was carried out with the aim of identifying key themes in the group analytic literature on clinical supervision, and to inform the development of theory, practice and research in this area. The systematic literature search identified 103 relevant publications, nearly all involving case vignettes of supervisory practice and theoretical reflections on group analytic supervision, with only a handful of published research studies in this field to date. Four core themes were identified in this literature, indicating what group analysts have considered to be the key functions of clinical supervision—one primary theme: Providing critical holding and containment, and three other themes radiating out from this primary concern: Supporting capacity to bear and process emotionally, sustaining ability to think deeply and widely, and counteracting isolation and enabling creative exchange. The nature of each of these themes is elaborated, and this material is critically considered in terms of the group analytic contribution to the clinical supervision field (considering theoretical coherence) and its relationship with the wider literature on supervision (considering correspondence with other disciplines). In conclusion, some implications and recommendations are outlined.

  • Understanding female survivors of interpersonal trauma and their
           experience of the ‘Survive & Thrive’ course

    • Free pre-print version: Loading...

      Authors: Lucie Jackson, Kevin Power, Katy Mitchell, Kate Duncan, Linda Graham, Kathryn Wilson
      Abstract: Group Analysis, Ahead of Print.
      The majority of publications have concentrated on individual psychological interventions with a limited focus on manualized group-based approaches for those presenting with mental health difficulties following a history of trauma. Survive & Thrive (S&T) is a psychoeducational course designed for survivors of interpersonal trauma which utilizes cognitive behavioural skills training while delivering psychoeducation on how a history of victimization can impact on the survivors’ life. This qualitative study was designed to gain an insight into female survivors of interpersonal trauma experience of S&T and the associated group dynamics component to evaluate this psychological intervention. The participants described their experience of S&T as a journey towards recovery. The study highlights the benefits of group-based interventions in regard to learning experience within a social context whilst also identifying areas for further development based on the participants’ feedback.

  • ‘Could it be that, after all is said and done, we are Oedipus and the
           group of the Sphinx'’: Learning from Foulkes

    • Free pre-print version: Loading...

      Authors: Volker Haude
      Abstract: Group Analysis, Ahead of Print.
      S.H. Foulkes’s paper concerning the Oedipus situation—published some 40 years ago—is still relevant in current group analytic practice. Main phrases of the Foulkes article, such as ‘regression’, ‘infantile sexuality’, ‘Oedipus conflict’, the ‘Sphinx-like mother’ and ‘transference’ are examined. Based on a case report about sexual pairing in group psychotherapy, the author depicts the course of events before analysing the enactment of the protagonists, the role of the group, somatic sufferings during the group process, boundary violations and countertransference factors, and discusses diagnostic and therapeutic implications as well as the need for further research on the special topic in group analytic psychotherapy.

      Authors: Smadar Ashuach
      Abstract: Group Analysis, Ahead of Print.
      The theft of the firstborn’s birth right by a sibling is relived and re-enacted in individual and group analysis. This experience can be interpreted as a continuation of Juliet Mitchell’s theory of sibling trauma and the law of the mother, as expressed in several Bible stories and demonstrated here by clinical examples.

  • Learning about humour

    • Free pre-print version: Loading...

      Authors: Susanne Vosmer
      Abstract: Group Analysis, Ahead of Print.
      In groups, we encounter the entire spectrum of humour from benign jokes to hostile sarcasm. Since humour has been neglected by group analysts, this article expands the limited literature in group analysis on humour. Several theories of humour are introduced. I contend that group analysis should research humour in order to develop a group analytic theory of humour. Jokes and clinical examples are interwoven to illustrate what conductors must consider before employing humour. Reactions to and use of witticism are described. Beneficial humour techniques (therapeutic paradox, paradoxical intentions) and gallows humour are outlined. Gallows humour has therapeutic benefits for depressed, traumatized, suicidal and dying people. Vignettes are provided that demonstrate how parallel process offers insight into humour. I suggest that supervision and workshops are vital if group analysts wish to use humour. Some techniques are described, which could be taught.

  • Expression of different kinds of love and their transformation in the
           interpretative encounter in the group

    • Free pre-print version: Loading...

      Authors: Susanne Vosmer
      Abstract: Group Analysis, Ahead of Print.
      Gadamerian concepts are combined with historic and group analytic conceptualizations to understand and modify expressions of different kinds of love in a long-term group. Vignettes are presented. In the interpretative encounter, affective, empathic, cultural and other resonances emerged. Through dialogue, new understanding occurred in the group about dangerous, romantic, unhealthy, narcissistic, intoxicating, unrequited, ecclesial and sexual love, which are influenced by prejudices/prejudgments, language, ideologies, tradition and (historic) horizons. Group love developed. My own positionality contributed to this process. A fusion of horizons was not always possible. Nevertheless, new understanding of sexualities, prostitution, marriage and romantic relationships was achieved in the group. I have introduced a rudimentary hermeneutic framework, which shows how prejudgments and faulty/ negative resonances of love can be modified or transformed. However, this circle is continuously ‘effected by historic un/consciousness’ and therefore never complete.

  • Psychotherapy: A kind of clinical philosophy'

    • Free pre-print version: Loading...

      Authors: Farhad Dalal
      Abstract: Group Analysis, Ahead of Print.
      I will speak up for philosophy as a deep, questioning attitude and a form of critical thinking. I will argue that the development of this kind of attitude is not only necessary to the therapeutic endeavour, it is identical to it. The work of developing this attitude requires courage not only from the ones-who-come-for-help, but also the ones-who-try-to-help. Amongst other things, I will contest the idea of psychotherapy as ‘treatment’ that seeks to ‘cure’ ‘mental illnesses’. I will say something about how this way of thinking tries to inform the ethos of the group analytic programme in Bengaluru, India. I will draw on my understanding of ‘Eastern’ philosophies, and contrast them with my evolving philosophy of psychotherapy. In this task I will call on a range of philosophers from Wittgenstein to Hume, Mead, Gaita, Keats, Weil, and de Beauvoir.

  • Simply ‘Yes’. Response to Stuart Stevenson: ‘The impact of
           homophobic trauma on gay men’

    • Free pre-print version: Loading...

      Authors: Claire Bacha
      Abstract: Group Analysis, Ahead of Print.
      Stuart Stevenson has vividly described the way in which being left alone with homosexuality in a homophobic world as a child creates a specific and lasting trauma. Stevenson captured a specific kind of trauma. However, group responses to his generous insights show that something important also happens to recipients of his insights. In groups, people listening want to identify with him and to join him to a point of drowning him out. These acts of joining, ‘me too’, ‘yes, butting’ and ‘whataboutery’ show that it is deeply uncomfortable to hear someone else’s painful experiences, take them in and not respond immediately. A group discussion at the Group Analysis North Barbara Dick Lecture where Stevenson presented his paper came to the clear conclusion that the best response to hearing painful experiences is simply ‘Yes’. Simply listening to the story of the ‘other’ opens up a painful place that is also enriching and empowering. This is the nature of intersectionality.

      This response is based on Reyna Hernández de Tubert two articles: The Mexican social unconscious—Part I: The roots of a nation’ and ‘Part II: Politics and group analysis’ (Hernández de Tubert, 2021). It discusses the role of the myth of mestization and the myth of conquest in the Mexican social unconscious in Mexican tripartite matrices. It also draws attention to Ferenczi’s trauma theory—confusion of tongues—exploring the psychoanalytic and group analytic ideas on the ‘identification with the aggressor’ in association with the concepts of introjection and incorporation.

  • Edward Glover, John Bowlby, psychiatry, Bion, and the War Office Selection
           Boards—towards a context for the emergence of group analysis

    • Free pre-print version: Loading...

      Authors: Christine Vickers
      Abstract: Group Analysis, Ahead of Print.
      This paper is a reflection on the context from which group analysis emerged in Britain during the Second World War. Edward Glover’s objections to the work of army psychiatry in a radio broadcast in November 1943, and the difficult collaboration between the War Office and psychiatrists as they sought to develop officer selection and training procedures, influenced developments in psychoanalysis, including the emergence of group analysis. It considers the response of the British Psychoanalytical Society whose members were engaged in army psychiatry work alongside colleagues from the Tavistock Clinic. Bion’s and Rickman’s collaboration and the experiments at Northfield were an outcome. The abrupt ending of the first Northfield experiment, and the development of psychiatry more broadly, prompted serious questioning within the Society about its isolationalist policies. The Society’s move to develop its training role, and to participate in post war health, mental health and welfare services was a result. Not only did it ensure the Society’s survival, but enhanced the emergence of group analysis as a discipline within the psychoanalytic project.

  • The impact of homophobic trauma on gay men

    • Free pre-print version: Loading...

      Authors: Stuart Stevenson
      Abstract: Group Analysis, Ahead of Print.
      This article is based on a presentation I made to a Group Analytic Society International (GASi) event on ‘The Impact of Homophobia on Mind, Body and Soul’ in May 2021. Much of what I discuss applies to gay women and people who are transgender. However, I will foreground the experience of gay men because I have more clinical and personal experience in this field. I provide a working definition of homophobia and how it impacts on the psychological development of gay men at various points during their earlier life stages. My contention is that the presentation of gay men in our clinics and practices in terms of their psychological difficulties and issues can be attributed, largely, to the impact of homophobic trauma rather than anything that is innate. This is largely due to gay men, from very young ages, having to manage a wide range of traumatizing negative responses and betrayal from their families and communities, ranging from ostracism to extreme violence and rejection from those who are meant to care for them. The more damaging impacts of these attitudes occur at points in the early developmental stages of gay men when they do not have a mature psychic apparatus with which to process and manage repeated and relentless homophobic trauma. This has implications for their personality formation and can lead to their developing some very unhelpful and dysfunctional defences. It is, in fact, surprising that gay men are such positive contributors to society and are not far more disturbed and destructive, given the amount of trauma that they face throughout their early development. I conclude with a discussion of the clinical needs of gay men.

  • Lived experiences of diversity in group analytic training and as a
           qualified group analyst: an autoethnographic study

    • Free pre-print version: Loading...

      Authors: Susanne Vosmer
      Abstract: Group Analysis, Ahead of Print.
      My evocative and analytical autoethnography explored the lived experience of diversity during group analytic training and as group analyst. Bakhtin’s dialogism was used to analyse texts. Data analysis has revealed pervasive experiences of racism and discomfort about social class and gender disparity. Religion was not included in my training and achieving feminine autonomy was difficult in group analysis. Linked to patriarchy, colonialism, and perhaps the Holocaust, my analysis suggests that we need to rethink gender and religious certainties. Our morality leaves much to be desired when we do not embrace polyphony, diverse voices. Embracing diversity may also entail discarding the Oedipus Complex. Group analytic training institutes should consider different fee structures so that disadvantaged people can join our elitist circle.

  • When foundation matrices move—challenges for a group analysis of our
           time

    • Free pre-print version: Loading...

      Authors: Regine Scholz
      First page: 483
      Abstract: Group Analysis, Ahead of Print.
      This lecture explores the recent and further to be expected radical changes in our nowadays world, asking for the implied consequences—for every organization/community on all levels, for every person—as well as for us as group analysists. To understand the underlying processes reference is made to the work of Karl Mannheim and Foulkes’ concept of the foundation matrix. The emotional strain of reworking its basic dimensions—as group boundaries, gender relations, relations between the generations, their power implications, which entrench the whole social structure and hence history—are carefully outlined.

  • Taking groups to the ‘street’: The value of
           Pichon-Rivière’s notion of task

    • Free pre-print version: Loading...

      Authors: Pablo Castanho
      First page: 498
      Abstract: Group Analysis, Ahead of Print.
      This text aims at developing the importance of the notion of task in Pichon-Rivière in planning and conducting groups outside the consulting room. It is structured as a theoretical and practical reflection. After a preliminary general discussion on the statute of the task for both Pichon-Rivière and Foulkes, we propose and discuss three practical developments from Pichon-Rivière’s conception of task. The three developments are: 1) The task as a leader: its value in dealing with identity issues; 2) How centring on the task can moderate the transference towards the conductor; 3) Respecting narcissistic envelopes with tasked-centred interventions. It concludes by reaffirming that all three discussed elements are helpful when taking groups outside the consulting room—and yet that they also contribute to approach what Pichon-Rivière called the moment of a task as a potential moment in the sense of Donald Winnicott.

      Abstract: Group Analysis, Ahead of Print.
      This contribution is about the Reflective Citizens Koinonia community intervention, with a specific focus on its moving matrix and transmissibility. Starting from the history of this method and its architecture, attention will be brought to the specific features, properties and values that make the matrix move and attune to local contexts. In order to give the reader an idea of the dynamic and emergent themes of RC workshops, some finger food from Chieri (Italy) Reflective Citizens Koinonia (RC Koinonia) first three workshops is presented to the reader, from the foundation without trauma to the first workshop held during pandemic in 2020.

      Abstract: Group Analysis, Ahead of Print.
      This article is a response to the 45th Foulkes lecture given by Dr. Regine Scholz, ‘When foundation matrices move — Challenges for a group analysis of our time’. It looks at women’s rights and societies’ responses to women as mothers and motherhood as the ultimate crisis. Women’s choices, their decisions about being a mother, or not, and their relationship to social and political power is explored, presenting themes connected to motherhood such as abortion, rape, war and displacement as well as climate change.

      We were part of this year’s Foulkes Lecture and Study Day (GASi, 2022) and we were left with strong feelings and much to process. I, Maria, reached out to Marci to try to make sense of it all, and we became curious of what might emerge from sharing Marci’s experience in the group in London and Maria’s experience in the online group.

           pandemic on a dance company

    • Free pre-print version: Loading...

      Authors: Clarisse Vollon, Guy Gimenez
      First page: 539
      Abstract: Group Analysis, Ahead of Print.
      This article explores group creativity following the lockdown in France from March to May 2020. Questioning its impact on established groups led us to formulate two hypotheses. First, the announcement of these measures provoked what Anzieu (1981) has referred to as a ‘state of creative shock’ in existing group structures. Second, the psychic envelope of these groups enabled a group creativity to emerge and be sustained. We support these remarks with an analysis of non-directive and semi-directive interviews (Lincoln, 1995) as well as recordings of sessions of a contemporary dance company, which were carried out via the Zoom platform throughout the lockdown period.
