  • Belgirate Vi
    BELGIRATE VI The Place where we Live: The space for Group Relations An international meeting for Group Relations Conferences practitioners 1 - 4 November 2018 Hotel Villa Carlotta Belgirate Lago Maggiore, Italy MEETING SPONSORS The A K Rice Institute OFEK – The Israeli Association for the for the Study of Social Systems Study of Group and Organizational Processes The Tavistock Institute of Human Relations Background: Since the first Leicester conference, which was pioneered by staff of the Tavistock Institute of Human Relations in 1957, Group Relations conferences have been understood as educational events which are based on learning through experience. Strategic and structural dynamics of organisations are studied and explored from a psychoanalytic-systemic perspective. The knowledge is acquired and then applied by working through the conscious and unconscious dynamics of leadership and management in groups, organisations and systems. The Leicester Conference has become the fundamental model for similar conferences held in many countries around the world. It has been adapted and modified over the years to be useful as a laboratory of reflection in various local contexts including the social, cultural, religious, spiritual, geographical and theoretical. Purpose of the Belgirate Meetings: Since 2003, the Belgirate meetings have become a meta-study hub where practitioners of Group Relations come together to share, explore and reflect upon the theory, practice, discourse and values of the Group Relations field and the changes that have taken place over time. The focus of Belgirate VI will be on context, ie on the relationship between our physical place we inhabit or co-create, and the psychic, inner or spiritual space we are part of.

  • A NEUROBIOLOGICAL MODEL of PERCEPTION Considerations for Transference
    Psychoanalytic Psychology Copyright 2007 by the American Psychological Association 2007, Vol. 24, No. 4, 623–640 0736-9735/07/$12.00 DOI: 10.1037/0736-9735.24.4.623 A NEUROBIOLOGICAL MODEL OF PERCEPTION Considerations for Transference David Pincus, DMH Northeastern Ohio Universities College of Medicine and Case Western Reserve University Walter Freeman, MD University of California, Berkeley Arnold Modell, MD Harvard Medical School and Boston Psychoanalytic Institute Transference is a key concept in psychoanalysis, distinguishing the analytic treatment from other forms of psychotherapy. In this essay, the authors place transference into the context of a general psychology of human functioning and link it to the neurobiology of perception. The authors briefly review the literature within and outside of psychoanalysis, define transference through the lens of perception, and propose that it is ubiquitous in humans. When not impaired, transference is an adaptive ego function that emerges, along with countertransference, in the context of any interpersonal situation of signif- icant emotional import. The authors draw on W. Freeman’s (2003, 2004) research on olfaction, which has since been replicated in other sensory modalities, for a neurodynamic basis for their model of perception and describe how transference may be thought of as an evolved form of it. The authors’ view is that transference is a hierarchically integrated perceptual modality of a higher order, although it depends on the same neurodynamic processes as those found in each sensory modality.

  • Metaphor in Psychoanalysis: Bane Or Blessing?
    Psychoanalytic Inquiry, 31:90–106, 2011 Copyright © Melvin Bornstein, Joseph Lichtenberg, Donald Silver ISSN: 0735-1690 print/1940-9133 online DOI: 10.1080/07351690.2010.515525 Metaphor in Psychoanalysis: Bane or Blessing? Robert S. Wallerstein, M.D. Since the 1980 book, The Metaphors We Live By, by Lakoff and Johnson, the cognitive–linguistic view of metaphor that they propound has come to be most widely accepted. Its characteristic fea- tures are that (a) metaphor is a property of the concept, not the words; (b) its function is to heighten understanding, not simply artistic or aesthetic; (c) it is often not based on similarity; (d) it is ubiqui- tous in ordinary language, not requiring special talent; and (e) it is an inevitable intrinsic aspect of all human thought and language. This is true of all speech, including the speech in and of psycho- analysis. Metaphor both amplifies and creates meaning. But it can also be misleading and produce conceptual errors of meaning. It should, therefore, not be reified or always taken literally, but should remain flexible and alterable, so that heuristically more relevant and more encompassing metaphor can readily be elaborated. THE MEANING OF METAPHOR Our language of discourse, daily conversation, or literature and essay, has, as far back as it has been recorded, been saturated with metaphor. Zoltán Kövecses (2002), a student of and collaborator with the noted American linguist George Lakoff, in his comprehensive book on metaphor—called a Practical Introduction—calls metaphor a figure of speech that implies a comparison between two unlike entities, though with linking common features.

  • Being in Berlin: a Large Group Experience in the Berlin Congress
    Int J Psychoanal (2009) 90:809–825 doi: 10.1111/j.1745-8315.2009.00169.x Being in Berlin: A large group experience in the Berlin Congress H. Shmuel Erlich*, Mira Erlich-Ginor* and Hermann Beland** *Israel Psychoanalytic Society Midbar Sinai 42, 97805 Jerusalem, Israel – [email protected] **German Psychoanalytic Association ⁄ IPA (Final version accepted 19 November 2008) In July 2007, the International Psychoanalytic Congress convened for the first time since the war in the former Nazi capital, Berlin. An open large group forum was held at this meeting, where attendees (Jewish, German and others) had the opportunity to explore the emotional aspects stirred up by being in Berlin. Hun- dreds of people participated in the event and described it as the ‘heart of the Con- gress’. We examine several aspects of the event, including the passions stirred, the containment of the setting, and the voices present and absent. Keywords: anti-Semitism, experiential large group, Holocaust, reparation, trauma To my surprise I discovered that my hotel room happens to be above the bunker where Hitler committed suicide. Then came the thought: As an analyst, do I have to identify with Hitler? I had the sudden thought of having lived with a ‘Nazi mother’ all my life. My shame at the sight of the German flag – I only hope my daughter will be free of this burden. It hadn’t occurred to me for a single moment that I might say something. Then I thought that I come from a family that remained silent all the Nazi-years. The history of psychoanalysis, by virtue of its unique relationship with Sigmund Freud and the disproportionate ratio of Jews among its early and later adherents, was deeply scorched by the rise to power of Nazism and the per- petration of the Holocaust.

  • Process Facilitation in Psychoanalysis, Psychotherapy and Social Work
    Process Facilitation in Psychoanalysis, Psychotherapy and Social Work Process Facilitation in Psychoanalysis, Psychotherapy and Social Work elabo- rates a differential theory of therapeutic engagement with full reference not only to psychoanalysis and to psychotherapy but also – surprisingly – to social work. When contemporary social work with the marginalised achieves mutual construc- tive collaboration, social workers characteristically notice an unfolding process. Could this correspond to the ‘analytic process’ of psychoanalysis? Sylvia O’Neill seeks to explain theoretically, and to illustrate clearly in prac- tice, just how a quasi-autonomous therapeutic process becomes established. The theory underpinning the book is Jean-Luc Donnet’s conceptualisation of the establishment of the analytic process in psychoanalysis through introjection of the analytic setting. Donnet designates the psychoanalytic setting as the analytic ‘site’. O’Neill proceeds to trace, by means of detailed clinical discussion, the analogous process by which a viable therapeutic process can become established through created/found discovery and introjection of the relevant ‘site’ or setting in psychoanalytic psychotherapy and in social work. Amongst the most important elements are the practitioner’s internalised theoretical principles. The book demonstrates that unconscious introjection figures more impor- tantly in effective therapeutic engagement than a conscious therapeutic alliance. An important corollary for social work is that, contrary to popular myth, no prior psychological-mindedness is required. The differential theory of Process Facilitation in Psychoanalysis, Psychotherapy and Social Work is equally rele- vant to psychodynamic counselling. Sylvia O’Neill is a psychoanalytic psychotherapist practising privately in Edinburgh and in the NHS in Glasgow. She trained in psychotherapy at the Tavistock Clinic after practising social work in Melbourne and London.
