ABSTRACT
Now I am in training, almost. In this chapter I puzzle over group analysis, an approach to therapy in the group by the group that operates with many different theoretical frameworks, not all of them psychoanalytic. I am asking myself whether this might provide the most thoroughly social approach to personal experience and treatment. Group analysis draws attention to a more fundamental question, what it means to be ‘social’, with a theory of social and historical context that enables the approach to operate in tandem with many forms of psychoanalysis.
