“…Lacan's Schema L, used to model the processes and dynamics at play in transference, is clearly adapted from Shannon and Weaver's book, and his diagrams at the time draw on the kind of graphs and figures to be found in U.S. efforts to apply mathematics to the social sciences. A rudimentary Schema L even appears in contemporary American thinking about the structure of transference (Demarest and Teicher 1954;Leader 1993aLeader , 2000. Although the diagram is sometimes attributed to Lévi-Strauss, in whose Elementary Structures of Kinship (1949) it appears, the latter had borrowed it already from Shannon, his neighbor during the stay in New York when he was working on the use of mathematics to formalize kinship structures.…”

“…The dominant theories of psy chotherapy are woven around the dyad of one patient and one therapist, but this is also changing, as is illustrated by the paper on group psychotherapy by Demarest and Teicher (3) in which the concept of trans ference is transposed into one of ". .…”

“…During co-psychotherapy the conflicts of early life become reactivated (3,(17)(18)(19), but the transference does not attain the allengulfing intensity which leads in singlehanded psychotherapy to the therapeutic im passe frequently seen with psychotic or borderline patients (9,20,27). Slavson refers to the transference as becoming 'diluted' and thinks that co-psychotherapy is undesirable for non-psychotic patients (24).…”

Publications regarding the joint psychotherapy of individual patients or couples describe a variety of therapist-pairings, many styles of treatment approach, and an increasing interest, in the last two decades, in a treatment tool which impresses workers as having particular therapeutic effect with both research and training potential. The pairings of therapists show many permutations by profession, previous experience, and relatedness. In this ongoing study the partners are a male psychoanalytically trained psychiatrist and a female social psychology graduate. The style used has been referred to as multiple therapy although the term co-psychotherapy is less ambiguous and more specific. Patients seen in private practice readily accepted the joint participation of the junior partner, no matter whether they were already underway in psychotherapy or were newly referred. Co-psychotherapy appears to be more effective than single-handed psychotherapy, especially in the treatment of psychotic and borderline patients. When one member of a therapeutic pair is a trainee, co-psychotherapy offers an apprenticeship in psychotherapy by direct and intense immersion. Its value as part of psychotherapy training would seem to warrant more extensive deployment.

Dual authority problems in classes for the emotionally disturbed

Junior Guidance Classes Program Board of Education of the City of New YorkADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF A MULTI-AUTHORITY SETTING Recent departures from the traditional classroom structure of one adult to one class group have appeared in the form of team teaching; the use of sub-professionals in the classroom; and the inclusion of two or more adults in special classes for emotionally disturbed children. There are also situations where kindergarten and nursery groups are often supervised by two adults. This dispersion of authority in a classroom setting has resulted in a number of unique problems, heretofore nonexistent when one teacher was responsible for one class. The apparent advantages of using two or more adults for one class, assuming the group is not enlarged, are: an increase in the individual attention that each child receives; a pooling of the specific educational strengths that each adult brings to the situation; greater opportunities for meeting individual educational needs and interests through small group instruction; a flexibility in dealing with student crises when the need arises; and the moral support they offer one another when confronted with the emotional stresses emanating from a class of disturbed youngsters. However, these benefits, at times, may be vitiated and/or the educational process undermined by the subtly destructive effects growing out of the same multiple teacher-class relationship. The negative interactions between the adults, as well as the easy opportunities for children to play one adult off against another, add complications not present in a one-teacherto-class relationship.The situation can be further exacerbated when working with classes of emotionally disturbed children, many of whom already have a history of problems in relating to adult authority figures. Moreover, the reduction in emotional distance that frequently accompanies a reduced teacher-student ratio tends to stimulate more profound levels of emotional reactivity in both participants. Similarly, the sheer weight of time that teachers experience in one another's presence during a working day tends to elicit, both consciously and unconsciously, a range of feelings that cannot but have a significant impact on their interactions, as well as have an effect on the class in general.
