DIAGNOSING RESISTANCE AND CONTENTS IN THE RAPY GROUPS

This paper describes clinically important aspects of diagnosis and int ervention in groups, refering to the Gottingen model of psychoanalytic group therapy and concentrating on norms and psychosocial compromise formations that regulate the group process, as well as on ways to deal with them therapeutically. A group interacts with the therapist as a professional and as a person. Ways of finding one's way through the co mplexities of a group process are described, with special reference to countertransference analysis.
