“…We relied on psychoanalytic ideas about group functioning to address a key question inherent in the implementation of action research with a peer supervision group: how such a group should operate in order to achieve productive research work. We worked with Pichon‐Rivière's ideas about the ‘operative group’ (Bernardi & De León de Bernardi, ; Pichon‐Rivière, ) and Bion's ideas on groups (Bion, ), whose connections have been recognized (Brown, ; Hinshelwood, ) although not further explored.…”

This paper reports on the work of a peer supervision group engaged in simultaneous research and clinical supervision. During an 18-month period, the group met to discuss 22 individual treatments of people diagnosed with psychosomatic disorders to identify common patterns of resistance and to assist therapists to effectively manage resistance. The aim of the present study was to identify and better understand psychological challenges the group experienced during this research process and its impact on their capacity to work effectively in their tasks. Supervision meetings were recorded and two types of qualitative analyses, derived from the work of Pichon-Rivière and Bion, were performed to study the group work and processes. Analysis showed fluctuations and compromise formations between the tendency to work objectively and to regress during critical periods of the research process. Factors that pulled the group in both directions are identified and discussed. We believe many of the processes observed in this study are applicable to other peer supervision groups. An understanding of such group processes is likely to enhance group work.

“…This vignette shows the group splintering under the pressure of shared emotional experience. Though the members all share aspects of a persecuting experience, both from their outside lives and within the group, they are unable to link their experiences together, forming an antiwork dynamic, which could be identified as Hinshelwood's (2012) "fragmented" container. The members were unable to come together to consider one person's experience (Kate's pain and embarrassment) and could only fall into their own, non-understandable, devastating, and preoccupying experiences which they direct at the facilitators.…”

This paper explores Bion’s thinking about the co-existence of psychotic and non-psychotic states in the personality. I contend that Bion’s description of psychotic states, in particular, is highly relevant when applied to adolescent states of mind. The processes that emerged from an adolescent psychotherapy group are presented to provide an illustration of Bion’s thinking and to reinforce the idea that such states are indeed present during the adolescent process. This work was undertaken in London, and the paper began its journey towards publication during the latter part of my work with this group and since my arrival here in Aotearoa New Zealand. Whakarāpopotonga E wherawhera ana tēnei pepa i te tirohanga a Bion ki te nohotahitanga o te mate rangirua me te kore-rangiruatanga mai o te āhua tuakiri. E tautohe ana au i te whakamāramatanga o te noho rangiruatanga, inarā, e tino hāngai ana inā whakatauhia ki te hinengaro o te taiohi. Ko ngā whakaputaranga i puta mai i ngā whakarōpūtanga kaiwhakaora hinengaro taiohi e whakatauhia ana hai whakaahua i ngā whakaaro o Bion, ā, hai tautoko ake i te whakaaro e mau ana aua āhua i te wā tipuranga o te taiohi. I mahia tēnei mahi i Rānana, ka tīmata ake te haerenga o tēnei pepa kia tāia i te pito whakamutunga o taku mahi i te taha o tēnei rōpū, ā, mai i taku taenga mai ki Aotearoa.
