Group analytic
psychotherapy is widely practiced in Europe and elsewhere. A panel
of leading group analysts presents a method that offers therapy of
great depth and range following Foulkes’ ideas about “”psychotherapy
in the group, by the group, including the conductor.” It opens a
dialogue with N. American models represented by the Chair,
Discussant and Audience, to compare principles and practices.
Learning
Objectives:
The attendee will
be able to:
1. Apply
Foulkesian principles of similarity and difference to the
composition of mixed and heterogeneous, long-term groups.
2. Address
leadership issues in group therapy using the dual principle of the
conductor as both therapist and group member.
3. Use the
concepts of resonance, mirroring, amplification and condensation to
address the process dynamics of small groups.
4. Differentiate
levels of meaning and modalities of language in the analysis and
interpretation of a group's content.
5. Consider how
the group-analytic model compares with modern group psychotherapy
and group-as-a-whole in North America.
