- Abstract
The article is a book review of "Group Analysis Throughout the Life Cycle: Foulkes Revisited from a Group Attachment and Developmental Perspective" by Arturo Ezquerro and Martha Cañete. The authors present a unique approach to group therapy by organizing the book based on patients' age and developmental phases. They discuss the concept of group attachment and emphasize the importance of understanding the social unconscious and group cohesion in therapy. The book is praised for its clear language, clinical examples, and contribution to the literature on group therapy. The article also discusses the book "Resonance of Suffering: Countertransference in Non-Neurotic Structures" edited by André Green. The book focuses on psychoanalytic treatment of borderline disorders and was funded by the International Psychoanalytic Association. However, the book has received limited attention and reviews, possibly due to flaws in its execution. The book's goals and focus shifted throughout the process, leading to disagreements and confusion among the participants. The article suggests that the book may not have achieved its intended purpose and calls for a reevaluation of how psychoanalysts evaluate and compare their efforts.
