ABSTRACT
This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the concepts covered in the preceding chapters of this book. The book describes author's own journey from the couch to the circle. It takes its inception from Foulkes and Anthony's Group Psychotherapy: The Psychoanalytic Approach, one of whose authors, James Anthony, sends it on its way with his Preview one of the last things he was ever to write. Bosse's paper the third title and the continuing development of practice, theory and scholarship in German-speaking countries, testify to how group analysis is being once again embraced by the societies in which it first took root. The book illustrates countertransference, projection, identification and projective identification at work in groups. It reviews how these constructs can be applied, how they inform a group's structure, process and content and how they can be taken up to enrich the practice of its conductor.
