From Psychoanalysis to Group Analysis: The Pioneering Work of Trigant Burrow [Hardcover]

This volume gathers a selection of psychoanalytic and group analytic essays by Trigant Burrow (1875-1950), precursor of group analysis and co-founder of the American Psychoanalytic Association. They show the development of the relational orientation in psychoanalysis, and the origin and evolution of group analysis, namely, from drive to the relation and the group processes as the person's structure. The events that led Burrow from psychoanalysis to group analysis, the censorship of the psychoanalytic orthodoxy, the silence of group analysis and the distortions of historiography are reported in the editors' introductory essay. The book presents the richness and originality of the theoretic, clinical, and methodological themes developed by Burrow either in the psychoanalytic or the group analytic fields.Series Editors Foreword , Foreword: Burrow Lives Again! , Foreword , Foreword , Parable , Introductory Essay: Trigant Burrows psychoanalytic and group analytic research on mans social nature through censorship and subterranean ransacking , Editors note , Psychoanalytic Essays Prior to Group Analytic Researches , Editors note , Psychoanalysis and life, Character and the neuroses, The genesis and meaning of homosexuality and its relation to the problem of introverted mental states, Notes with reference to Freud, Jung, and Adler, The origin of the incest-awe, Psychoanalytic Essays in the New Perspective of Group Analysis , Editors note , Social images versus reality, A relative concept of consciousness.
