Memory and Psychotherapy
This article examines the roles which memory and remembering play in promoting the processes of individual and group psychotherapy. Some of the factors which distort and modify memory are examined. The processes of remembering history and stories are considered. The way in which therapist and patient work together creates a biography to which the psyches of both have contributed. The purpose of therapy is to give meaning to the biographical story…
Consciousness in the 20th Century
This article postulates that the collective consciousness of Western humankind has been enhanced during the 20th century. Three areas of human experience, the group, the reproductive process and mind expanding drugs, are used as models to test this hypothesis. It is concluded that there have been profound changes in human awareness and expectations at the cost of loss of contact with the `building blocks' of the psyche. The importance of the smal…
Working with Schizophrenics Individually and in Groups
This paper seeks to further our dynamic understanding of schizophrenia through its literature and the therapeutic insights gained from individual and group psychotherapy.

The Presence of God in the Group
When people gather in small groups they are often aware of an indefinable supra-personal dimension. Anyone who has taken part in a camp-fire sing-song will have experienced this. The group setting at sundown was the time and place when folk-tales and fairy stories were woven. It was the time when the elders met to discuss the events of the day, when evensong or compline was sung or said in churches. There is something `special' about this conjunc…
