COUNTERTRANFERENCE AND REVERIE IN GROUP ANALYSIS

Abstract

Koncept kontratransfera je mjesto konsenzusa i konvergencije različitih psihoanalitičkih škola i pravaca (Gabbard 1995.) Foulkes je knjigom „Introduction to Group Analitic Psychotherapy“ (1948.) utemeljio grupnu analizu, povezao socijalne znanosti i psihoanalizu naglašavajući odnose, kontakt, uzajamnost i pripadnost grupi. Njegovi osnovni teorijski postulati anticipiraju temeljna načela intersubjektivne paradigme u psihonalizi koja se kristalizirala 30 godina kasnije.(13) Pokušaj da shvatim svoje osjećaje predstavlja za mene igru i izazov u razvoju osobnog i profesionalnog identiteta. U psihoterapijskoj grupi koju sam prikazao doživljavao sam intezivne i zbunjujuće osjećaje a potreba da razumijem što se događa u meni i u grupi rezultirali su ovim radom. Prikazao sam evoluciju koncepta kontratransfera u individualnom i u grupnom settingu, te intersubjektivni pristup u grupnoj analizi, što mi je pomoglo u osvještavanju i metaboliziranju kontratransfernih osjećaja u grupi, te razumijevanju sebe, pacijenata i dinamike u grupi.The concept of countertransference is a point of consensus and convergence of different psychoanalytic schools and courses (Gabbard, 1995). With the book “Introduction to Group Analytic Psychotherapy” (1948), Foulkes introduced group analysis, thus linking social science and psychoanalysis, highlighting relationships, contacts, reciprocity and belonging to the group. His basic theoretical postulates anticipated the underlying principles of the intersubjective paradigm in psychoanalysis that became crystallised 30 years later. The attempt to understand my feelings represents for me a game and a challenge in the development of personal and professional identity. In the psychotherapeutic group I held, I have experienced intriguing and confusing feelings, and the need to understand what is happening within myself and in the group has resulted in this paper. I will present the evolution of the concept of countertransference in individual and group settings as well as the intersubjective approach in group analysis. The aforementioned theoretical concepts have assisted me in becoming aware and metabolising countertransference feelings in the group, as well as in understanding myself, my patients and the overall group dynamics
