Book Description:

Foulkes, Bion and others identified the presence of primative layers of affect and object relations in therapeutic groups, where universal collective themes and early infantile object relations are re-experienced and repeated. These very profound emotions and energies present the maximum challenge to the group psychotherapist--the ``Ring of Fire.’’ In this collection of original work, international contributors who have put considerable research and therapeutic effort into understanding these phenomena share their insights with the reader and give practical advice on how to manage the situation so as to bring about change and growth.
