Correspondence should be addressed to Walter N. Stone, MD, 23 DeSilva Island Drive, Mill Valley, CA 94941. E-mail: w_stone@comcast.net. In her discussion of Freud’s 1910 article “Wild Analysis,” Muriel Dimen (2014) offhandedly states that we don’t often think about the impact on the therapist when the patient, usually a clinician, is aware that the therapist also is an author and may write about the therapeutic encounter. Dimen comments, “With another patient not in the field and/or about whom I would not be writing, my tack would inevitably be different” (p. 510). Dimen is highlighting the bi-personal nature of the relationship. I found myself intrigued by her disclosure, not only about patients who are clinicians, but about all patients. I wondered how this referenced me and may have impacted my writing about clinical material. In “Thinking About Our Work: Case Presentations” (Stone, 2014), I explained how I informed the group members about my writing and publications. I understood that patients fear exposure, and I was disguising their identities. With some groups, I read portions of what I had written. However, I had not attended to or even been aware of how I may have subtly and unknowingly altered my own subsequent responses following their commenting on my writing. I believed that I had ethically fulfilled my responsibility by informing the members about my writing, but I did not think more deeply into how their knowing about my writing had impacted me and how I subsequently interacted and spoke with them. What Dimen brings to the table is the situation that occurs when both patient and therapist know of the publication and the therapist is inhibited from saying things that might be said in the absence of writing, publishing, or presenting the therapeutic work. I certainly, even retrospectively, cannot recall changing how I","PeriodicalId":90511,"journal":{"name":"Group","volume":"324 1","pages":"161 - 162"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78006762","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}

Group therapy has been described as optimal to use with adolescents, because of the significant role of peer relationships and identity formation at this developmental period. Research has shown that group therapy also provides a spiritual experience specific to adolescents. Incorporating spirituality into group therapy, however, remains an understudied topic. Yalom's therapeutic factors are used as a conceptual framework to understand the spiritual constructs behind group dynamics; thus clinicians may provide adolescents with a safe environment for spiritual growth. The theoretical underpinnings of group psychotherapy are conducive to cultivating life meaning, positive interpersonal relationships, and resilience.","PeriodicalId":90511,"journal":{"name":"Group","volume":"8 1","pages":"225 - 244"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72919477","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}

Correspondence should be addressed to Joseph Shay, PhD, 1218 Massachusetts Avenue, Cambridge, MA 02138. Email: joseph_shay@hms.harvard.edu. I am pleased to respond to the issues highlighted in Lee Kassan’s excellent piece. He has drawn attention to a relatively underappreciated phenomenon in therapies of all kinds, namely, what I have termed collateral damage (Shay, in press). By this I mean the unintended negative consequences on individuals who are not the specific focus of a treatment (e.g., individual therapy, as described by Kassan), or may be part of the treatment but receive shrapnel wounds or worse from traveling in the orbit of the therapeutic process of others (e.g., group therapy), or may be part of a collaborative treatment in which the treaters don’t agree (e.g., the couple therapist and the individual therapist; Maltas, 1998). In Kassan’s article, he focuses on at least two very important themes. The first relates to what he calls the “treatment gap,” when an individual therapy process can create negative consequences for a couple, if one member who comes to deal with relationship problems improves while the other stands still. The second theme draws attention to another potentially damaging process, namely, when the therapist, based on the subjective, if not frankly distorted, presentation of the person in the office promotes a particular direction that may, unknowingly, result in collision paths for the individual in therapy and his or her partner. I will comment on the first of these themes only briefly, given that it is better known by clinicians than the second. All of us, patients and therapists alike, live inside patterned relationships that have implicit expectations and responsibilities that result in predictability. At times, what is predicted is a continuation of dysfunctional interaction, although this dysfunction often exists in a state of equilibrium. As Kassan explains, this equilibrium is jeopardized—and perhaps should be","PeriodicalId":90511,"journal":{"name":"Group","volume":"14 1","pages":"359 - 362"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80428305","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}

Resonance is defined by S. H. Foulkes as “communication without any message being sent or received, an a-causal and transpersonal process at the primordial level in the psychic network of communication, the matrix.” By discussing clinical examples from an analytic group and art therapy, I demonstrate how basic concepts from both approaches are applied in a group process. Resonance unfolds as a-causal expressions of meaning rather than as causal interactions. The synthesis of these approaches assists in building an emotional bridge both on the personal level of each of the participants and among the members of the group as a whole. Therefore certain basic terminology from these different types of therapies was examined, including such terms as matrix, mirroring, echoing, the group as a whole, projection, internal objects, and reflection.","PeriodicalId":90511,"journal":{"name":"Group","volume":"4 1","pages":"319 - 330"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82066764","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}

{"title":"Thinking About Our Work: Response to Comments","authors":"W. Stone","doi":"10.13186/GROUP.37.3.0257","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.13186/GROUP.37.3.0257","url":null,"abstract":"257 1 Professor Emeritus, University of Cincinnati, and Coordinator of Group Therapy, California Pacific Medical Center, San Francisco. Correspondence should be addressed to Walter N. Stone, MD, 23 DeSilva Island Drive, Mill Valley, CA 94941. E-mail: w_stone@comcast.net. I was very pleased to read the responses to my Thinking About Our Work essay on analytic love. When I wrote my thoughts on this topic, I was focusing primarily on my sense that, at times, we alter the analytic frame in ways that are deemed inappropriate, such as giving advice or revealing something personal, which may include how we feel about a patient. Yet we do that out of genuine concern and caring for our patients. Fundamentally, we are not expecting anything in return, with the exception of seeing our patients benefit and grow. When I first read the responses to these thoughts, I wondered about the difference implied in “analytic” and “romantic” love and if the titles implied different concepts. J. Scott Rutan addresses the differences in a very nice manner as he contrasts Western romantic love with love as constructed in collective societies such as China. He adds and expands his view, “It is, rather, a deep affection for, knowledge of, and concern for one another.” This quotation includes my view of analytic love, with the exception of not expecting anything in return, and I think Rutan is implicitly saying that there is nothing expected in return. Further elaborating, Scott comments that if there is a sexual component, it is peripheral. I agree also with his particularly incisive comment that we often do not actually explore, in any depth, manifestations of love among members or directed at the therapist. Close ties between love and sexuality are threatening because they might lead to action. Carol Kramer Slepian’s response illustrates this point. She describes two members who developed romantic feelings toward one another, which eventually ended in marriage. During the couple’s courtship, though, the uninvolved members became distrustful. One member of the couple left the group; the other wished to remain.","PeriodicalId":90511,"journal":{"name":"Group","volume":"32 1","pages":"257 - 259"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76012984","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}
