Difficult Patients in Group Analysis: The Personification of (ba) I:A/M
Authors:Earl Hopper
Affiliation:(1) private practice, USA
Abstract:Following a discussion of the treatment of ldquodifficult patientsrdquo in group analysis, two theories are proposed concerning a fourth basic assumption in the unconscious life of groups, called ldquoIncohesion: Aggregation/Massificationrdquo or ldquo(ba) I:A/Mrdquo and the personification of basic assumption processes, in particular that of (ba) I:A/M by difficult patients. These theories are illustrated with clinical data. Special attention is given to crustacean and amoeboid forms of encapsulation as a defence against the fear of annihilation within the context of the traumatogenic process. It is suggested that for difficult patients the treatment of choice is dyadic psychotherapy/psychoanalysis followed by group analysis.
