Abstract:
This article reviews the growing contribution of self psychology to group psychotherapy. The basic self-psychological concepts as they are applied to group dynamics and the treatment process are explored. Transference, countertransference, and self-restitutive patterns are illustrated in a clinical vignette that includes a "difficult" patient's impact upon the interactional and group-as-a-whole processes. Several directions for future investigation are described.
