This paper both provides wonderful case material illustrating the emergence of a conflict of group allegiance in a treatment and the navigation of this engagement in treatment as well as introduces some theoretical concepts for imagining how what Gonzalez describes as the “double provenance” of psychic life.
How does the case material Gonzalez provide illustrate the challenges of maintaining “radical openness”? Gonzalez writes “A group is at its most generative when it contains the greatest diversity among its members while sharing the most unity of purpose.” What can you imagine about the tensions that arise between these attributes?
