This book contains a stimulating diversity of chapters that explore the development of Foulkesian ideas - [it is] a fine exposition of group analysis.'- Group Analysis'This is essential contemporary reading.'- British Journal of PsychiatryIn this examination of the legacy of Foulkes, the theoretical foundations of group psychotherapy are applied to a range of groups, including family therapy, institutional dynamics and educational therapy.
Contributors to this volume include distinguished group analysts, such as Pines and De Mar , and more junior analysts selected for their original thinking.
The complexity of creating a coherent theory of group analysis is underlined by the multiple authorship of a single volume compiled and edited along group principles.
