Revised edition with additional chapter. This book, from the
Tavistock Clinic Series, is about what follows the breakdown in
functioning, either short or longer-term, provoked by a traumatic
event. The authors offer a psychoanalytical understanding of the
meaning of the trauma for an individual, illuminating theory with
detailed clinical illustration and case histories. A range of
therapeutic procedures is described. Major disasters draw attention
forcibly to their effects on the survivors. Less often recognised
are the long-term after-effects of the huge number and variety of
more private events, either accidental or deliberately inflicted,
on an individual's subsequent emotional and working life. This book
is about what follows the breakdown in functioning, either short or
longer-term, provoked by a traumatic event. What is distinctive
about this book is that its authors offer a psychoanalytical
understanding of the meaning of the trauma for an individual,
illuminating theory with detailed clinical illustration and case
histories.

This book examines the ways in which we make use of the Group
Relations model, set up in the experimental field of the Group
Relations conferences, to understand and modify the functioning of
working groups. It is based on a psychoanalytic knowledge of the
psychosocial development of human beings.
The treatment manual is intended to serve more than one purpose. It
is designed to be a research tool, making possible the
standardization and validation of a treatment method. It is also a
highly condensed primer and a practicum, offering a description of
psychoanalytic group therapy which will act as a handbook for the
beginner and as an "aide-memoire" for the more experienced
therapist. Many therapists will have had some experience with
individual patients but wonder how they are to convert that
knowledge into the practicalities of running a group, in which
seven or eight patients are seen simultaneously. For young
practitioners in a National Health Service setting, this can be a
daunting prospect. It is difficult to do group therapy well, yet
when it is done well it provides an invaluable therapeutic medium
for a collection of patients it might be neither possible nor wise
nor even necessary to see in individual treatment. In other words,
there are many patients for whom a group is the treatment of
choice.
