As a specific example of more general processes I discuss the gendering of power and authority within group processes. Using vignettes from an experiential women's group, I attempt to identify and evaluate available ways of conceiving power relationships between women in groups (sister-sister; mother-daughter; the masquerade, the androgyne, honorary man, the father of whatever sex, and the lesbian). From this the paper calls, first, for a move away from treating gender as the primary organizer of difference in order to address the diverse and intersecting forms of power relations operating within groups and, second, to broaden consideration of women's positions within dyadic and group processes beyond the current (conventionally de-sexualized) maternal metaphor. It is argued that attending in these ways to sexed/gendered relations within groups offers vital resources towards theorizing and exploring the group body, whereby the group is conceived of as composed of embodied minds structured not only around gender but also by relations of class, ‘race’ and sexuality. This approach therefore envisages group psychotherapies as providing psychic surfaces between familial and broader cultural relations in which transformative group relations can be prefigured.","PeriodicalId":85362,"journal":{"name":"Psychodynamic counselling","volume":"7 1","pages":"347 - 369"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2001-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/13533330110067950","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"59787971","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It outlines key group analytic concepts that are relevant to debriefing, including mirroring, group dynamics and supervision. It details how these concepts, along with the facilitator's and supervisor's free-floating attention, can help in thinking about the group and the organizational impact on the individual and the group. Using examples of debriefing, suggestions are made about how to use these concepts within the debriefing session and the impact of the dynamics of the organization on the debriefing. The paper emphasizes the importance of supervision for debriefers and how the dynamics of the debriefing and the organizational context can be mirrored in the supervision. It illustrates the interplay between the individual, the group and the organization through commentary on vignettes, which include a debriefing session and the subsequent supervision session for debriefers.","PeriodicalId":85362,"journal":{"name":"Psychodynamic counselling","volume":"7 1","pages":"329 - 346"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2001-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/13533330110067987","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"59788077","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It attempts to describe the increasing marginalization of the modern father due to the significant social changes brought about by the wars of this century, by the liberation of women, the rise of feminism and the consequent weakening of family structures. It explores the modern diversity of fathering, mothering and parenting: single parenting, step-parenting, co-parenting and absent fathers. Also included is a discussion on the development of IVF techniques, which enables fathers to function as mere sperm donors, and women to produce children with the help of modern technology, from frozen sperm, embryo implanting and surrogacy. Questions about the ongoing validity of Freud's Oedipal theories are asked. Concern about the ethics of ‘designer’ babies is expressed, and the decline of the modern family is captured in a series of clinical vignettes which provide evidence for the psychic complications experienced by children who have grown up into this ‘bright new world’.

It argues that difficulties in the development of the self lie behind a significant number of troubled couple relationships. Part 1 focuses on individual psychotherapy and how changes to the core self are often attended by shifts in the marital relationship. It traces how this occurs through clinical material and analyses what kinds of changes to the self are needed for the couple relationship to function well. Psychodynamic theory is used to understand the core changes over time and how these are related to significant second-order change in the couple relationship. The construct of the ‘transitional space’ is used to theorize the couple relationship. Implications for the practice of individual psychotherapy are discussed. In Part 2, the significance of change in the experience of the self of one or both partners for a successful outcome of couples therapy is discussed, along with the place of work with individual partner(s) in the course of conjoint couples therapy.","PeriodicalId":85362,"journal":{"name":"Psychodynamic counselling","volume":"7 1","pages":"445 - 459"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2001-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/13533330110087705","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"59787738","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Evolutionary psychology has been called a ‘combination of evolutionary biology and cognitive psychology’ (Evans and Zarate 1999). It is the application of Darwinian theories of natural selection to human behaviour and development. Evolutionary psychology emphasizes two main principles. The rst is that the human mind of today was formed during our emergence as a separate species between (very roughly) 1 million and 50,000 years ago. Human behaviour, emotional responses, sexual and family relationships, social cohesion and cultural development are all to be explained in terms of the struggle to survive and procreate during that period. As Evans writes, ‘the greatest challenge for evolutionary psychology is to show exactly how a mind designed for life in the stone age is capable of such extraordinary achievements’ (Evans and Zarate 1999: 142). It is a challenge which has been taken up with enthusiasm and ingenuity. Second, evolutionary psychology emphasizes the dominant part played by genes in the evolution of all life, including human life.

It explores the way the body symptoms we meet in the consulting room, and in everyday life, express and communicate disturbances in our relationships with others. The article seeks to understand how others that are close to us can really get under our skins. The work of the philosopher of the body, MerleauPonty, findings from contemporary developmental psychology, recent psycho-biological studies and psychoanalytic insights are all drawn upon as a way of offering an introduction to contemporary developments in thinking and research on the body. The article explores the interdependence of body and environment. In particular, the body is always in an interpersonal context with others. Bodies are interdependent; communication is first and foremost bodily. Bodily behaviour and biological functions develop in the context of a relationship. The relationship with the other influences the formation of bodily processes and actions. Clinical examples are drawn upon to illustrate how interpersonal disturbances in development are expressed in bodily symptoms. The difference between a hysterical and psychosomatic body symptom is also briefly addressed.","PeriodicalId":85362,"journal":{"name":"Psychodynamic counselling","volume":"7 1","pages":"41 - 62"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2001-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/13533330010018478","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"59786589","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Drawing on examples from teaching, I discuss writing as a mode of representation of personal experience that both facilitates its expression and containment, and thereby supports individual and group processes. The paper ends on a cautionary note by highlighting limits to the parallels drawn between (feminist) therapy and teaching. Nevertheless, it is argued that the challenge within both arenas is to use the power with which we as practitioners are invested to foster conditions for transforming inequalities, while maintaining the structural ambivalence of our own institutional positions.","PeriodicalId":85362,"journal":{"name":"Psychodynamic counselling","volume":"7 1","pages":"187 - 205"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2001-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/13533330110041264","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"59787355","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
