The Role of Narcissism in Group Psychotherapy
This article analyzes five phases in the group process in which narcissism may, also on an archaic basis, be seen to be present, and its effect both on the individuals and the group process, as well as towards the conductor. The author also refers to the tasks of the therapist in respect of this narcissism, as it affects the individual, the other group members, and the group-as-a-whole
Encounter with Gerard Chrzanowski
Gerard Chrzanowski was a prominent representative of psychoanalysis. However, he was not a friend of strict delimitations between the different psychoanalytic schools and the struggles between them. Having grown up in Poland, having lived a few years in Switzerland and the rest of his life in USA he had a multi-cultural background. He was with that well prepared to exert an integrative role between the different psychoanalytic movements and espec…
Reinforcement and Containment in (Therapeutic) Groups
The manifold interactions between the members of (therapeutic) groups lead to an actualization of past experiences with corresponding transferences as well as to a containment in the here and now. When the group is treated as a whole, narcissistic injuries may be experienced by the members that can culminate in a negative outcome of group psychotherapy. In groups led by a therapist focusing on both the participating individuals and the group situ…
The Group-As-A-Whole in the Interpretation
Treating a therapy group as a whole neglects each member's individual experience and expectancies, especially when the group is considered from a psychological viewpoint. From a sociological-interactional perspective, however, the group can be seen as an entity, an interactional network. From this viewpoint we are interested in, for example, the quality and quantity of interactions in the members, the reciprocal feedbacks, etc. I speak of a `grou…
Group Psychotherapy with Immigrants from Turkey
Group psychotherapy with immigrants from Turkey began in Switzerland at the University Psychiatric Outpatient Department, Basel, 1991. At this time two groups were formed for depressed Turkish patients with psychosomatic symptoms: a women's group in November 1991, and a men's group in January 1992. The need for psychotherapeutic care stemmed from the large number of immigrants in this city who came from Turkey beginning in the late 1960s but part…
Object-Relations in the Service of Coping and Defence in the Therapeutic Group
Interactions among group members exist on three levels: the narcissistic-fusional level; the level of active ego-performances, and the level of free decisions. The active ego-performances contribute most to coping and defence within a therapeutic group. There is a constant oscillation between the different levels of object relations. In regressive episodes there is a preponderance of the narcissistic-fusional level. It is the function of the ther…
Projective Identification as a Regulator in the Group Process
Three levels of interrelationship have been found in therapeutic groups. The first is the basic narcissistic-fusional level, which brings about the cohesion and closeness of group members. The second is marked, on the one hand, by the archaic form of ego-perfornance, projective identification, which leads to distancing and therefore has a regulating function, and, on the other hand, by higher forms of active egoperformance such as identification,…
Trends in Group Psychotherapy with Borderline Patients
Qualitative and quantitative evaluation over six years of a slow-open group of borderline patients showed the importance of the following therapeutic factors: confrontation of the pleasure principle with the reality principle; group norms as stabilizing factors; the amplifying versus the buffering effects of the group on emotions and cognitions; acting out or acting in, remembering and working through; and narcissistic reinforcement
Group Psychotherapy with Borderline Personalities
Defense and Coping in the Antinomy between Self-Maintenance and Adaptation
After definitions of the terms defense and coping, the disturbances of both linked to narcissistic personality disorders, borderline personality disorders, and major depressions are described. All three are characterized by deficient narcissism. In narcissistic personality disorders, defense and coping are hindered mainly because of a lack of narcissistic investment of the ego, in borderline personality disorders preponderantly because of a fragm…
