This study explored the experiences of women living at the intersection of gender- and class-based discrimination in a novel group healing arts psychotherapy model, which was described in a previous issue of this journal. Data included participatory observations and interviews. Six group participants, all low-income women older than age 18 years, were formally interviewed. Qualitative inductive thematic data analysis revealed five overarching domains: (a) psychological realities and life challenges, (b) interpersonal growth processes within the community arts group, (c) art processes facilitating insight, (d) internalized healing and changes, and (e) goals to continue art and take risks. Implications and future directions for expanding the field of group-based healing arts are discussed.","PeriodicalId":90511,"journal":{"name":"Group","volume":"79 1","pages":"45 - 75"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91046133","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}

In its place, Pick describes how psychoanalytic theories retreated to theorize about superego development in children. So-called sanctioned violence offers no viable solution to the avoidance of studying violence or perpetrators. Destructive violence is justified by ideologies both before and after the violent events. The nature of Nazi group regression is explored as killing groups remain visible in society.","PeriodicalId":90511,"journal":{"name":"Group","volume":"49 1","pages":"245 - 257"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74253720","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}
