Therapeutic semi-safe space in group analysis
People come to group analysis knowing that the group is not completely safe. They choose to join an unknown, and in many respects unpredictable and challenging, interpersonal environment. ‘Semi-Safe space’ in group analysis is a co-created, basically safe and mutually accepted infrastructure, with the mutually recognized challenge of being and communicating in an unexpected and not fully protected environment. The group’s semi-safe space represen…
Relational Group Analysis. A Response to R. Billow: Relational Group Psychotherapy: An Overview: Part II: Relational Models of Group Process, June 2017
The simultaneous existence and evolvement of the intra-psychic and the interpersonal is the basis of the term ‘relational’.

The Bad Enough Group Analyst’: Authenticity and Emotional Responsiveness in Group Analysis’. A Response to Farhad Dalal’s Foulkes Lecture
The group can be a moral place only if it can contain moral challenges. For this, the group needs a sort of freedom to relate in which the group can move between poles of injury and regret, and between impassivity on the one hand and concern on the other. The emotional involvement of the all members with each other is a pre-condition for the ethical situation of the group. Emotional responsiveness entails authenticity. The authentic expression is…
Special Section: Matrix and Reverie in Supervision Groups
Supervision entails being an apprentice and having a tutor at the beginning of one's training. As such, the asymmetrical relations between the supervisee and the supervisor tend to accrue unconscious meanings of power, hierarchies, control and dependency and these increase the supervisee's vulnerabilities. Without underrating the value of individual supervision, we believe, along with others who have related to these issues, that group supervisio…
