“…It is true that Cortesão believed that the group analytic technique is very similar to psychoanalysis. In this case, he is, indeed, very close to the views of Henrietta Glazer (1965; 1969; 1978), who in her intervention in group psychotherapy, with a psychoanalytic approach, gives great importance to the concepts of transference, working through and therapeutic alliance in the group therapeutic process.…”

The development of psychoanalysis itself and, in particular, the publication of the so called Freud’s anthropological works led to the appearance and growth of group psychotherapy, namely, of their psychoanalytic approaches. Their general characteristics are described and some of their particular aspects (Slavson, Wolf and Schwartz, Ezriel, Bion) referred. The importance of the contributions of Ego psychology, ORT and self-psychology in this evolution are particularly stressed. The use of philosophical (existential) models, though complemented by psychoanalytical and behavioural contributions (Yalom) are also referred. The point of view and basic conceptions of group analysis, the most diffused of analytical group psychotherapies in Europe, are particularly described and, in their context, the points of view of Trigant Burrow, Foulkes and Cortesão compared. Cortesão’s points of view are particularly developed and, among them, the conceptions of group-analytic process (developed in analogy with Bibring similar point of view established in the psychoanalytic setting), group-analytic pattern and matrix, changing levels of experience and interpretation, specific aspects of group-analytical transference, commutative interpretation, aesthetic balance and its importance in the group analytic process. The working through of the group transference neurosis becomes a nuclear step in this approach. Finally, Foulkes’ and Cortesão’s approaches in group-analysis are compared and the similarities between them underlined, in spite of some apparent contradictions.

“…The id wish to suffer flourishes here. The unconscious superego is a willing partner, illustrating what Glatzer (1969Glatzer ( , 1978) has referred to and described as the "corruptible superego." Hal can be upset about this man's suffering and blame himself for his part in this, all the while obscuring from himself the real problem, that is, that masochism does not die easily, and at this point a fair compromise is its being confined to a dream.…”

“…Regarding the dynamics of transference in group therapy, I view the interpretation and working through of transference processes as the main vehicles for achieving reconstructive personality changes of a deep nature (see also Durkin, 1964;Durkin & Glatzer, 1973;Glatzer, 1969;Wolf & Schwartz, 1962). Leadership strategy and techniques in analytically oriented group therapy adhere to the rules of abstinence, neutrality and anonymity to foster full development of transferential processes, following the same theoretical lines of psychoanalysis.…”

“…Durkin and Glatzer (1973) hold that transferential relationships predominate in group therapy interaction. But Glatzer (1969) also writes about the reality reinforcing characteristic of the group setting: "The summation effect of other members' observations, the repeated evidence of transference distortions in the interconnecting transference and the continuous exposure of the defensive structures reinforce reality for the patient..." (p. 297). Bion (1959) and Lieberman (1958) are among those who hold the notion that group therapy promotes accuracy of interpersonal and intergroup perception.…”

This investigation was primarily directed to the subjects of reality and the perception of reality in analytic group psychotherapy.Measurements were made of : how members of an analytic psychotherapy group perceived their own power position and the power positions of the other members of their groups; the extent to which members perceived themselves and the others to have derived therapeutic benefit from the group ; and the accuracy with which members could perceive the therapists' personal preferences for different members of the group. This data was used to shed light on the issues of reality, transference, countertransference and therapist's transparency in analytic group psychotherapy.
