[Balint groups. A psychoanalytic critique]. 1991

H Becker

The author refers to two examples taken from the work of Balint groups in arguing that the social environment of the several participants is an integral component of what the group must reflect on. The notion of a group process dealing with "pure" cases is ideology. The author relates his argument to Parin's comments about "social critique in the interpretive process".
