This book contains a stimulating diversity of chapters that explore the development of Foulkesian ideas – [it is] a fine exposition of group analysis.’
– Group Analysis
‘This is essential contemporary reading.’
– British Journal of Psychiatry
In this examination of the legacy of Foulkes, the theoretical foundations of group psychotherapy are applied to a range of groups, including family therapy, institutional dynamics and educational therapy. Contributors to this volume include distinguished group analysts, such as Pines and De Mar , and more junior analysts selected for their original thinking. The complexity of creating a coherent theory of group analysis is underlined by the multiple authorship of a single volume compiled and edited along group principles. Editors Brown and Zinkin also had access to the preliminary notes of a proposed book on group theory, cut short by Foulkes’s death, which cover topics as wide-ranging as psychoneurosis, social inheritance and the Oedipus complex.
