Notes on the correspondence between Rocco Pisani and E.J. Anthony
Talking through panic. De Maré and the Exhaustion Units
Reflections on Group Analysis and Philosophy
The article firstly questions the possible relationship between group analysis and philosophy. It then discusses the Foulkesean ‘ethics’ of leadership and its roots in Freudian psychoanalysis and the European Enlightenment. In this context, Foulkes’ group analytic conception of the superego and his view that the group members ‘collectively’ constitute the norm from which ‘individually’, they deviate being (re-)considered. Building on this ‘Law of…
The Matrix and the Envelope. A Comment on Vollon, Gimenez and Bonnet’s, The Notion of the ‘Matrix’: New Perspectives in Group Psychotherapy for Psychotic Patients
Group Psychotherapy: The Psychoanalytic Approach by S.H. Foulkes and E.J. Anthony . From the First to the Second Edition
Lost in Translation? Reading Foulkes Today
The article focuses on the discrepancy between the success of Foulkes as an author and the predicament of his work today. Introduced by some preliminary remarks on the notion of intersubjectivity, his change of name from Siegmund Heinrich Fuchs to S.H. Foulkes is discussed as formative for the development of his professional creativity. It is argued that talking about Foulkes as an author, the particular circumstances of his writing cannot be ign…

Group Analysis and Complexity Theory. A Response to Victor Schermer
Free Association, Group Association and Group Dialogue
Based on a talk given in Bozen 2010, the following article was written to give an account of the concepts of free association, group association and group dialogue. According to Foulkes, the advance from psychoanalysis to small group psychotherapy was a step from free association to group association. Pat de Maré conceived the subsequent advance from small group therapy to the group analytic work with median and large groups as a step from group …
On the Vicissitudes of Professionalism. Commentary on Professional Practice Analysis and Kulturarbeit
The Location of Sexuality in Group Analysis
This article addresses the subject of sexuality in group analysis, and tries to locate it in a group analytic context. To do so, Foulkes’ late paper on the ‘Oedipus Conflict and Regression’ (1972) is taken as a starting point. It is argued that both Foulkes, and later de Maré have convincingly shown that psycho-sexuality cannot be localized in the body, but has to be located in the group. This basic group analytic assumption has an affinity to ce…
Response to Herzel Yogev's `Holding in Relational Theory and Group Analysis' (Group Analysis 41(4))
Development by Adaptation: Notes on `Applied' Group Analysis
The article addresses the subject of `applied' group analysis. Regarding the development of group analysis itself, the very term `adaptation' represents a key element of Foulkes' theoretical and clinical thinking from early on. This is particularly obvious in his first book Introduction to Group Analytic Psychotherapy (1948). Discussing problems of applying group analytic principles to field other than the purely therapeutic, Foulkes resorted to …
The Group Analytic Movement Sixty Years On: Revisiting Introduction to Group Analytic Psychotherapy by S.H. Foulkes
Music from a Fa(r)ther Room: Response to Lecture by Gerhard Wilke
Special Section: Contemporary Clinical Challenges of Group Analysis Group Analysis
This paper presents a general overview of the challenges which the practice of group analysis continues to face in the field of clinical research, highlighting some of the social changes and economic pressures which influence and affect these challenges. Economic constraints are highlighted, with some suggestions as to how group analysis can develop in order to endeavour to meet the needs of different types of patients, as well as satisfying the …
Mind The Gap: Commentary on ‘Troubling Space, Making Space, Doing Space’ by Liz Bondi
Commentary on ‘Boundary Objects and Group Analysis’ by Erica Burman
From Context to Content: Retrieving the Social in Group-Analytic Practice
S.H. Foulkes acknowledged the relevance of the `social' in the group-analytic process by introducing the idea of a `social unconscious' supplementing the Freudian unconscious. The present article focuses on access to unconscious `social facts' (such as class, for instance) in group-analytic practice. In order to do so, Foulkes's reformulation of the ego-psychological principle of analysing from surface to depth' is reconstructed and reconsidered …

From Demand to Desire: What do We Offer when We Offer Group-Analytic Training
What is offered in group-analytic training? The tentative answer is twofold. It is argued that by changing verbal communication in the group into a free-floating group discussion' Foulkes developed a consistent method for getting access to unconscious processes in groups, a method that is different from classical psychoanalysis. Implicitly, this approach is conceived of as ethical in nature, recognizing individual associations as interpretations …
From Demand to Desire: What Do We Offer when We Offer Group-Analytic Training
Training in Democracy, Democracy in Training: Notes on Group Analysis and Democracy
This article focuses on the relationship between group analysis and democracy with special reference to transference phenomena. Accordingly, Foulkes's concept of leadership and transference in groups is compared with Freud's analysis of mass formation, hypnosis and transference love, and the concept of transference further elucidated with particular reference to Laplanche's `General Theory of Seduction'. Finally, the group-analytic process and tr…
