Group therapist as social scientist, with special reference to the psychodynamically oriented psychotherapist
The recent literature suggests a lowering of tensions between psychotherapy practitioners and researchers in the decades-long "psychotherapy war." The author analyzes reasons for the thawing and suggests that the time is ripe for clinicians to assume greater authority in the work of developing models of the psychotherapy change process. The article highlights the unique positioning of the psychodynamic group psychotherapist for advancing this wor…

Primitive defenses and the borderline patient's perceptions of the psychiatric treatment team.
This study investigated the construct validity of several recently devised self-report measures of splitting and related primitive defense mechanisms and undertook a preliminary quantitative analysis of the relation of these defenses to here-and-now social perceptions in borderline psychopathology. Based on an integrated framework of object-relations theory, psychoanalytic group psychology, and social cognition theory, the study explored associat…

Relationships among semantic differential change measures of splitting, self‐fragmentation and object relations in borderline psychopathology
This pilot study investigated associations among change measures in a sample of borderline patients participating in an intensive, group‐oriented day treatment programme. Change scores over a four‐month period were calculated from measures of splitting dynamics, self‐perceptions, and experiences of interpersonal relationships. Correlations provided partial empirical support for the hypothesized associations among these variables. Findings suggest…
Organizational size and perceptions in a residential treatment program
Centralization of a residential mental health treatment program from three small houses to one large facility provided a naturally occurring opportunity to study the effect of organizational size on the perceptions held by clients and staff. Quantitative data were repeatedly collected on their perceptions of themselves, the organization as a whole, and subgroups within the organization during their involvement in both the small and large social c…

On Terminating Psychotherapy: More Evidence of Sex-Role Related Countertransference
This study was designed to investigate therapists' affective reactions to and technical management of the termination of psychotherapy as a function of therapist sex. It was anticipated that if therapists need to protect themselves from the painful aspects of termination, they might abandon therapeutic roles for less threatening sex roles. Accordingly, it was hypothesized that male therapists might be less emotionally available and responsive tha…

Participants' Perceptions in Small and Large Group Contexts
This study was designed to examine aspects of projective processes in small and large group contexts. Subjects were members of a Group Relations Conference; quantitative data were collected on their perceptions of themselves, the group as a whole, and the group consultants, following their participation in relatively unstructured small and large self-study groups. The findings provided some empirical support for predictions of more powerful and s…
