Preface

Life is the only real counselor; wisdom unfiltered through personal experience
does not become a part of the moral tissue.
—EDITH WHARTON

It is hard to believe that it has been over 20 years since the first edition of
this book was published. That was the year the first Macintosh computer
was sold, the Soviet Union boycotted the Olympics, and Dynasty was the
number-one TV program—perhaps foreshadowing the arrival of subse-
quent group ensemble programs, as well as the more recent spate of reality-
oriented shows illuminating group betrayal. Just as the world continues to
change, so too does the world of health care, psychotherapy, and group
therapy.
This book has one very significant change over the previous editions.
We are pleased to add Joseph Shay to our team. Dr. Shay is a highly
respected teacher and practitioner of group therapy who brings his exper-
tise to this fourth edition.
Psychodynamic theories have evolved, especially with regard to valu-
ing and understanding the interactive complexities of relationship. In the
earliest days of the theory, the therapist analyzed the patient and there was
an implicit assumption that the analyst could be a rather impartial observer
of the patient.
More recently, psychodynamic theory has become attuned to the inter-
active complexity of the therapeutic relationship. Rather quickly, and espe-
cially with the advent of object relations theory and self psychology, it
became apparent that if one is truly engaged with one’s patients, one could
not remain an impartial observer. Not only is the patient altered by being

vii
viii Preface

exposed to the interpersonal field of the therapist, but the therapist has
been equally influenced by entering the interpersonal field of the patient.
Thus, we begin to see concepts such as co-construction, intersubjectivity,
and mentalization. These complex aspects of relationship came to be
viewed as important sources of diagnostic and technical data. We note
these throughout the volume but particularly in Chapter 2. These modern
elaborations of psychodynamic theory have particular relevance for the
practice of psychodynamic group psychotherapy, and this edition of the
book incorporates these advances in a significant way.
We have also reviewed the latest relevant research, included new
examples to bring even more clarity to the concepts presented, and added
Dr. Shay’s responses to the clinical vignette in Chapter 13. Finally, we have
added “Frequently Asked Questions” (Chapter 17), where common ques-
tions are addressed directly.
The book begins with a review of the history of group therapy and
then considers in some depth the theoretical framework of modern psycho-
dynamic group psychotherapy. Readers primarily interested in clinical
issues can move quickly to Chapter 3 or begin with a review of the
frequently asked questions in Chapter 17.
Group therapy is an exciting, and at times confusing, modality. Our
goal is to help you enjoy this excitement—and the confusion as well.
Acknowledgments

This book is the joint effort of the three authors as well as a larger group of
individuals, without whom the project would not have happened.
We begin with special thanks to our wives (Jane, Esther, and Laura),
who did without us for protracted periods of time so that we could devote
ourselves to this project. Laura Zimmerman, Joseph Shay’s wife, went even
further by contributing hours of editorial assistance. She and Larry Malcus,
PhD, pored over every word of this text, and their suggestions are inextri-
cably woven into and add greatly to the final version you see before you.
Finally, we are most indebted to the members of our groups over the
years, and to the students we have taught and supervised, because ulti-
mately they were our best teachers.

Groups in Today’s Society

We allow our ignorance to prevail upon us and make us think we can


survive alone, alone in patches, alone in groups, alone in races, even alone
in genders.
—MAYA ANGELOU

Human beings are group oriented. We begin in small groups—our families—


and live, work, and play in various groups. The formation of our personali-
ties is predicated upon our experiences with the different groups in which
we interact, and the opportunities for modification and change of our per-
sonalities are very much affected by the groups in which we are involved.
As Harry Stack Sullivan (1953a) maintained, it takes people to make peo-
ple sick, and it takes people to make people well again.
Although much has changed since the first edition of this book
appeared in 1984, it remains true that the structure of society makes groups
uniquely important. Contemporary society has lost much of the capacity to
build or maintain intimate relationships. The tendency is to change part-
ners rather than to resolve conflict.

CULTURE AND MENTAL ILLNESS

The psychopathologies confronting modern clinicians are different from


the ones that confronted Sigmund Freud and his colleagues. Freud (1914/
1958) analyzed the pathologies of the members of the society in which he
lived, and through that examination made revolutionary discoveries about
the formation and complexion of personality. The pathology that most fas-

1
2 PSYCHODYNAMIC GROUP PSYCHOTHERAPY

cinated Freud was hysteria; this disorder became the lens through which he
focused his conceptions of individual psychodynamics.
In contemporary society, classical hysteria is not the pathology around
which theory is formed. The cutting edge of modern psychodynamic thought
focuses on character disorders, especially narcissistic and borderline condi-
tions. Pathology is seen as manifested in the disturbed quality of relationships
with others. However, there is a trend, subsequent to the ascendancy of man-
aged care in the United States, of trying to fit patients into discrete symptom
formations and to find specific treatments for each of those diagnoses. In fact,
each of these specific diagnoses is a different way of coping with difficulties in
gaining and sustaining viable relationships.
These “new” pathologies have been accompanied by other post-
Freudian developments in our understanding of psychopathology and our
practice of psychotherapy. Giovacchini (1979) observed that as psycho-
analysis began to treat character-disordered patients, this “shifted our
focus from a predominantly id-oriented psychology to an ego psychol-
ogy. . . . It highlighted the importance of early development. The subtleties
and vicissitudes of early object relationships have assumed paramount
importance” (p. 3).
The etiology of psychopathology is multidetermined. Elements of
genetics, biology, and temperament go into the human experience, along
with the intrapsychic and interpersonal forces that are the province of psy-
chodynamic theories. Unfortunately, most theory and research focus on
one side of this interactive axis rather than trying to understand how these
forces interrelate.
The search for a link between cultural factors and mental illness began
as early as 1897, when Emile Durkheim (1897/1951) wondered about the
connection between suicide and social conditions. In 1939 Faris and Dun-
ham suggested a causal relationship between schizophrenia and the living
conditions in Chicago slums. Leighton (1959), in his well-known Stirling
County (Nova Scotia) study, discovered an overall correlation between
mental illness and social disarray, as well as correlations between specific
sociocultural settings and particular types of psychiatric disorder. A num-
ber of clinical syndromes, such as koro, latah, and amok, are clearly culture
bound (Leff, 1988). Koro, for example, is the strange syndrome in which
there is a belief that a man’s penis will disappear into his body and rela-
tives are prepared to take action to prevent this from occurring. At
times this belief has reached epidemic proportions in native populations.
Dohrenwend and Dohrenwend (1974) found that although schizophrenia
seems to be present in all cultures, there is considerable discrepancy in the
types of schizophrenia that dominate in different cultures. Likewise, Cohen
(1961) demonstrated cultural factors in the etiology of depressive reactions,
and Kleinman and colleagues (Kleinman, 1980, 1988; Kleinman, Das, &
Lock, 1997) highlighted the profound interpenetration of culture and psy-
chiatric conditions.
Groups in Today’s Society 3

Thus, the notion that there is a connection between cultural factors


and the formation and expression of mental disorder has already been
examined in some depth. For our purposes, the fact that cultures and eras
have their own characteristic and dominant pathologies is of particular rel-
evance. In the modern world, for example, there is evidence that individu-
als have difficulty obtaining and sustaining intimate interpersonal relation-
ships. Ours is a culture that emphasizes individual gratification.

EARLY VICTORIAN CULTURE

The early Victorian era was stressful and comforting to people in specific
ways. Victorian society offered far fewer choices than does current Western
society. Although it was vastly more open than societies that preceded it,
members of Victorian culture were nevertheless born into roles largely
determined by class, church, ethnicity, and gender. Because there was little
opportunity to go beyond those roles, the individual’s hopes and aspira-
tions were often sources of frustration. On the other hand, individuals were
spared the burden of ambiguity and choice. Acceptable behavior was highly
codified, typically by a strong church morality, with the result that sexual
and aggressive drives, in particular, were restricted. Exceptions exist, of
course. For example, the presence of a vigorous body of Victorian porno-
graphic literature suggests that sexual drives were not thwarted altogether.
In Victorian society, individuals had a definite place, though not neces-
sarily a place they chose or relished. Concomitantly, individuals had an
identity that was clear. Relationships were set within the framework of the
nuclear family, the extended family, the neighborhood, the world of work,
and the church, all of which provided most people with natural sources of
support and stability.
Individuals in Victorian times were presented with fewer choices about
how to live their lives and with whom to live them. This is not to imply that
there was an absence of frustration and pain. If few complained about
being “bent out of shape,” it was only because being shaped was so univer-
sal. It is reasonable to assume that the restrictiveness of that society might
lead to pathologies that express conflict between individuals’ powerful
innate impulses and the introjects of a superego-ridden society.

VICTORIAN PSYCHOPATHOLOGY: HYSTERIA REVISITED

Freud’s theories developed as he treated his patients, many of whom were


neurotic hysterics. Students of Freud are familiar with the case of Anna O,
the young woman Josef Breuer treated from December 1880 until June
1882. She suffered from classic hysteria, or “conversion reaction.” While
nursing her dying father, she developed paralysis of three limbs, contrac-
4 PSYCHODYNAMIC GROUP PSYCHOTHERAPY

tures and anesthesias, a nervous cough, and other symptoms. Breuer con-
ducted his first analysis of Anna O using hypnosis throughout the treat-
ment. In the course of this treatment it was discovered that Anna O had
two quite distinct personalities. Further, during the treatment the patient
developed toward Breuer what later became known as a transference love
(Freud, 1937/1964).
Freud and Breuer often discussed this case, and out of these discus-
sions came many of Freud’s original formulations about the existence of
unconscious material and the structure of personality. Shortly after this
case Freud saw Emma von N, and in this case he had the opportunity to
observe firsthand the strange behaviors present in hysteria.
Freud postulated four major premises about personality:

1. All behavior is determined, not random.


2. Behavior is purposeful and serves to protect the self (der Ich), with
even the most bizarre symptoms serving such an adaptive/compen-
satory purpose.
3. There are unconscious urges, memories, wishes—a vast reservoir of
information outside the individual’s awareness.
4. Freud eventually suggested that there are two basic drives within
the personality, the libidinal (pleasure seeking) and the aggressive;
personality was presumed to be formed in the thwarting and har-
nessing of these two drives.

These four postulates are, of course, a most summary attempt to distill the
essence of Freud’s theories.
Do we psychotherapists see patients like Anna O or Emma von N in
our offices today? Probably not, unless we work in highly contained ethnic
communities where the role of nuclear family, extended family, neighbor-
hood, and church still hold sway. When these patients do appear, they
often come to our colleagues in neurology or internal medicine. The fact
that the types of psychopathology present in our society are different than
those observed by Freud suggests a powerful correlation between society
and mental illness.
Freud not only observed the patients of his day, he observed them
within the framework of that society. People in the Victorian era had a con-
viction that “structure” could harness the very forces of nature. This belief
in the ultimate dependability of matter led to unprecedented productivity,
wealth, and hegemony over peoples of a more “primitive” nature around
the world. It is little wonder that Freud began to hypothesize about the
“parts” that make up personality—his theory fit comfortably with the sci-
ence of the era.
In the intervening years, more modern psychodynamic theories began
to refer not so much to faulty parts as to dysfunctional relationships and
Groups in Today’s Society 5

dissatisfying ways of living. Modern concepts of pathology are cast less in


terms of mismatched or improperly fitting parts than in terms of disrupted
developmental processes. However, in the current atmosphere, there is a
press to return to a more Victorian approach—of understanding our
patients as “broken,” suffering from a specific and discrete illness for
which there is, presumably, a specific and discrete treatment.
Whereas current psychodynamic theorists chart the evolution of per-
sonality through social systems, Freud viewed the ego as essentially the
product of intrapsychic conflict. Though individual personality was under-
stood to be affected by interactions with significant others (especially the
mother), it was nonetheless not seen as predominantly formed in those
interactions. Rather, personality was understood to be the result of a thor-
oughly inward process. The ego was conceptualized as a rational, unemo-
tional arbiter between the instinctual urges common to all people and the
acceptable mores of the particular society in which they lived. The superego
was “the alien it which tyrannizes the ego” (Binstock, 1979, p. 56).
It is difficult to criticize Freud for this focus, given the genius required
to hypothesize as much as he did about human development. Rather, we
should simply understand that he did not have time or opportunity to
expand all his observations to their logical conclusions, though he began
this quest in Civilization and Its Discontents (1930/1961). The expansion
of his observations was left to later authors, who elaborated on the impact
of human interactions and developed theories about personality resulting
from interpersonal interactions. The apex of this trend is seen in modern
theories of object relations and self psychology, where the need for human
relationship is understood to be common to all people and fundamental to
the forming of personality.
If it is true that personality is formed in, through, and by relationships,
then a therapeutic modality that uses the interactions of networks of indi-
viduals should be capable of altering disturbed or disturbing personalities.
In modern culture, the traditional sources of identity and continuity
are waning or gone. It is as if the Victorian and modern eras are opposites
along many important axes. Mainstays of the community and identity,
such as the extended (or even nuclear) family, the neighborhood, religious
institutions, and the ethnic group, are all diminishing in stability and
dependability. The rate of change is now so accelerated that each genera-
tion would seem to have its own culture. For example, mass media, includ-
ing the growing influence of the Internet, penetrates the nuclear family
while mass transportation explodes it, and those central places that once
gave individuals a sense of themselves are changing dramatically.
There was a certain dependability about the future in Victorian times.
If a goal could not be attained in an individual’s lifetime, there was always
the reasonable expectation that it might be attained in the lifetime of his/
her children or grandchildren. This is not the case today. Changes in tech-
6 PSYCHODYNAMIC GROUP PSYCHOTHERAPY

nology are exponential, occurring at a faster rate than at any time in his-
tory. If that were not enough, technology has contributed even more lethal
weapons of mass destruction, and there is little in human history to inspire
confidence that at some point this awesome capacity will not be used. The
value of working for and investing in the future has been diminished, and
most modern individuals “live for today.”
If Victorian culture provided stability at the cost of choices, in modern
culture individuals are confronted with a bewildering array of choices
(Brown, 2002). Along with choices come ambiguity and uncertainty. If Vic-
torian culture provided secure but restrictive relationships at the price of
internal conflict, modern society underestimates the importance of main-
taining and sustaining relationships.

MODERN PSYCHOPATHOLOGY

The ability to enter into cooperative, loving, interdependent relationships


has always been a sign of psychological maturity and health. This is partic-
ularly so today. Indeed, one quick but accurate indicator of mental health is
the degree to which individuals allow themselves to know how important
others are to them.
Given the changes that have occurred since Freud’s time, it is quite
understandable that the stereotypical pathologies of today involve the abil-
ity to effect, experience, and enjoy intimate and sustaining relationships.
Consequently, the psychopathologies that confront modern clinicians are
character disorders (such as borderline and narcissistic personalities) and
mood disorders (such as depression and anxiety). These conditions may be
understood as relational problems. The borderline patient is too aware of
the importance of others, whereas the narcissistic patient appears incapable
of knowing how important others are. Depression and anxiety can both be
understood as adaptive responses to the terrors of intimacy. Fairbairn
(1952a) was among the first to state that it is the relationship with the
object (another), not the gratification of an impulse or drive, that is the fun-
damental fact of human existence. It is as though modern patients do not
disable physical “parts” of themselves, as did Freud’s patients, so much as
they disable their relationships (Kernberg, 1976) and are unable to ade-
quately relate to others (Havens, 1996; Kohut, 1971).

GROUP THERAPY

Our understanding of the structure, functioning, and objectives of therapy


groups is consistent with our description of modern society and the pathol-
ogies it fosters.
Groups in Today’s Society 7

Freud’s patients lived in a structured and mechanistic world. This


would both affected the ills that beset them and determined the form and
focus of the cure that would work for them. The focus of the cure for hys-
terical patients was abreaction, catharsis, and access to repressed wishes
and memories. Given the strong sense of what were acceptable thoughts
and behaviors in Freud’s time, the form of treatment was one to one and
very private. Freud’s patients did not lack social connections. If anything,
the social element was all too present, and therapy offered a much needed
private place wherein one could explore the feelings, wishes, and behaviors
that society prohibited.
Typically, the situation is reversed today. Individualism is so dominant
that social connections are not formed or, if formed, eventually un-
ravel. The requirements and goals of psychotherapy are different. Modern
patients need authentic human relations, the skills for building them, and
the ability to make the compromises necessary to live intimately with oth-
ers. They need less help with the structure of their being than with the pro-
cess of relating. From this perspective, the benefits of group therapy begin
to become clear. Therapy groups are supportive yet, in a way, restrictive
communities. They incorporate some of the Victorian values of dependabil-
ity, and it is expected that group members will work at their relationships
with others in the group. The easy “out” of changing relationships is highly
discouraged in favor of resolving conflict. Rutan and Alonso (1979, p. 612)
have written:

Group therapy, by its very format, offers unique opportunities to experience


and work on issues of intimacy and individuation. In such groups the commu-
nity is represented in the treatment room. It is usually impossible for individu-
als to view themselves as existing alone and affecting no one when in a group
therapy situation over any significant period of time.

—PEARL BUCK

Differences between the way individuals think, feel, and behave when alone
and when in groups have interested observers for many years. Gustav
LeBon, in 1895, and William McDougall, in 1920, were among the first to
write about the impact of groups on the behaviors of individuals. Sigmund
Freud, F. H. Allport, Harry Stack Sullivan, Kurt Lewin, Carl Rogers, and
Philip Zimbardo are just a few of the well-known authors who have con-
tributed to this field of interest. If we are to understand more fully the ways
in which participation in groups is currently thought to be curative, we
must examine the history of group psychology.
The difficulty in writing about group theory stems, in part, from the
American culture that privileges the individual. Most therapists come to
group work from experiences treating individuals, and initially they have
difficulty appreciating the contributions of the group setting. In group psy-
chotherapy both individual and group dynamics are at play and intimately
entwined. Keeping both perspectives in mind is not easy. We believe that it
is most useful for clinicians to think about group process first and then con-
sider individual dynamics. In this way the clinician can choose an interven-
tion that would be most helpful in moving the process forward, whether
directed to the individual or to the group. This strategy serves as a reminder
of the contribution of group dynamics to the psychotherapeutic process.
