The Theory and Practice of Group Therapy [Working Title]

The methodology combines historical investigation and literature review with psychodynamic and group-analytic formulations; it also provides an attachment-based, critical analysis of both approaches, their similarities and differences, and their mutual influence. Likewise, the chapter investigates the evolution of the concept of group attachment, formulated by Bowlby in 1969, which has been largely overlooked in the specialist literature until the last two decades, despite the fact that group lives, as well as interpersonal and group attachment, have played a fundamental role in our survival as a species and in our well-being and healthy development as a p...

Inspired by the work and ideas of John Bowlby, Michael Bálint and Habib Davanloo, over five decades, Dr Malan committed himself to finding effective treatments that would help the largest number of patients in the shortest possible time, and pioneered research into brief dynamic psychotherapy as well as into group psychotherapy. He came to the conclusion that the type of therapy matters far less than the relationship the patient has with the therapist or therapy group, since patients can explore more confidently and make progress more significantly when they perceived the therapist or therapy group as a secure base, a key tenet of attachment theory. More specifically, he pursued a new tradition of short-term psychotherapy that built a bridge between psychoanalytic and more active cognitive...

Attachment: New Directions in Psychotherapy and Relational Psychoanalysis, 2021

Learning from Luis Arias González and, above all, Paul Preston’s biographies of Captain Aguilera, the article will employ a combined methodology of historical investigation, psychiatric clinical formulations, and group analysis. In doing so, it will take into account a highly complex context of brutal group dynamics of national depression and exaltation, unresolved trauma, military rebellion, war, genocide, holocaust, and dictatorship.

Attachment in the Time of the Pandemic, 2020

In the midst of this unprecedented crisis, it is a duty for psychotherapists and other mental health professionals to carry on working with emotionally vulnerable people, maximising the use of digital technology. The article suggests that this traditional duty may fall short under exceptional circumstances and, so, it might become necessary to go beyond the comfort of the consulting room — in order to address problems effectively in the social, cultural, and political arenas. This article includes an ongoing piece of online clinical work with a patient recovering from psychosis, whilst further reflecting on the current health, economic, and social emergency.

Las vinetas clinicas representan diferentes etapas en el desarrollo de la vida de este grupo abierto. Los pacientes psicoticos se muestran con frecuencia profundamente desconfiados hacia los demas y tratan de ignorar la existencia del grupo en su conjunto. Para ellos,p aradojicamente, la cronicidad representa estabilidad. Esto hace que el proceso grupal parezca estancado. Una de las tareas cruciales del terapeuta es ayudar al grupo a transformar la situacion de estancamiento en una de desarrollo. A pesar de dudas y temores iniciales, terapeutas y pacientes mostraron poco a poco un mayor entusiasmo hacia la experiencia grupal.
