Phenomena of Resistance in Modern Group Analysis
Abstract
The development of the concept of resistance is briefly traced. The contributions of Spotnitz and his coworkers to the broadening of the concept of the Modern Analytic approach of supporting and resolving reistance are delineated. The ways in which resistance is modified in the group setting are presented and illustrated by clinical vignettes of members resolving each other’s individual resistances and engaging in group resistance. Group destructive resistances are identified and guidelines for minimizing their impact are offered.
