Reflections on Group Analysis and Psychoanalysis: The Selected Works of Malcolm Pines

by Malcolm Pines

Reflections on Group Analysis and Psychoanalysis brings together a selection of works, including several previously unpublished and available for the first time, from the three main areas of work in Malcolm Pines’ Group Analysis, Psychoanalysis and Neuroscience. The chapters span some sixty years of his career and chart his immersion in primary training and work as a British psychoanalyst. Pines remains one of the most pivotal and important individuals in group analysis and therapy. In this book, he aims to show how Group Analytic theory is a nodal point in the network of Psychodynamic development, encompassing developmental psychology, neuroscience, ethology, social sciences and linguistics. Reflections on Group Analysis and The Selected Works of Malcom Pines will be essential reading for students and practitioners of group analysis and therapy, psychoanalysis and psychoanalytic psychotherapy.
