"Beyond the Anti-group: survival and transformation" builds on the
success of Morris Nitsun's influential concept of the Anti-group,
taking it into new domains of thought and practice in the current
century. The concept focuses on anxiety and hostility within,
towards and between groups, as well as the destructive potential of
groups. In Beyond the Anti-group". Morris Nitsun continues his
inquiry into the clinical implications of the anti-group but also
explores the concept beyond the consulting room, in settings as
wide-ranging as cultural and environmental stress in the 21st
century, the fate of public health services and the themes of
contemporary art. Groups are potentially destructive but also have
the capacity for survival, creativity and transformation. Focusing
on the interplay between the two, Morris Nitsun explores the
struggle to overcome group impasse and dysfunction and to emerge
stronger. By tracking this process in a range of cultural settings,
the author weaves a rich tapestry in which group psychotherapy,
organizational process and the arts come together in unexpected and
novel ways. The author draws on group analysis and the Foulkesian
tradition as his overall discipline but within a critical frame
that questions the relevance of the approach in a changing world,
highlighting new directions and opportunities. Readers of Beyond
the Anti-group: Survival and Transformation will be stimulated by
the depth, breadth and creativity of the author's analysis and by
the excursion into new fields of inquiry. The book offers new
impetus for psychotherapists, group analysts and group
practitioners in general, students of group and organizational
processes, and those working on the boundary between psychotherapy
and the arts.
