Open Family

A technique of psychotherapy is reported, using a large open group of theoretically unlimited lifetime. Family and friends are encouraged to attend and new members are added independently of those leaving the group. Various features of such a group are conparable to small group analysis. The group may be used for the exploration and treatment of family psychopathology. Meetings containing 20 or more members, with several families being represented, are not uncommon. Observers likewise are not limited in number and the group serves a useful teaching and training function as a consequence. A wide range of patients, including those regarded as unsuitable or too difficult for conventional psychotherapeutic management, may be treated by this technique. Illustrative cases are described. The purpose of this paper is to describe a technique of group psychotherapy which has been practised over a period of several years and which differs in some important respects from established methods. This technique, the large open family group, has proven itself to be useful in treating a wide range of patients.

Psychotherapeutic Process

During a group psychotherapeutic process, many layers of inner and outer worlds are mirrored through constant interaction. The author follows up part of the group analysis of a small group of patients who, through projections and projective identifications, dreams and fantasies, slowly disclose their deep inner conflicts, up to the barriers that all of them avoid. `Going around' the projection of one patient opens a path through these psychogenic autistic encapsulations, enabling the whole group to develop the analysis of the group process. The author conceptualizes this situation as a phase preceded by high tensions and resistances and followed by new insights into the psychodynamics of each member and the group as a whole. Barriers are understood and well defended as nuclei of pregenital conflicts, disclosing early fixations, which imply autistic qualities, while neurotic `boundaries' are seen as conflictual lines against which one uses defence mechanisms, and which are generally more accessible to exposition and confrontation, and are of either oedipal or pre-oedipal origin.

The Individual

I present below an attempt to understand complexity theory and the dialectical relationship between theory and group analytic practice. These are often concepts difficult to make sense of as they are rarely illuminated with clinical material for the reader or the trainee group analyst to comprehend. After the introduction of the Kantian and Hegelian dialectic and its use to understand group analytic concepts, I move on to the complexity theory and attempt to illustrate its significance with a clinical example from a small group analytic group. Cavafis’s celebrated poem ‘Ithaka’, is used as a metaphor for the utmost importance of the splendid interpersonal and transpersonal journey in group analysis with all its challenges and gains that this brings to the individual and to the group as a whole as the emphasis is on the process (journey) rather the destination (Ithaka).

Sem Studies

Mammalian endothelial cells lining hepatic sinusoids have been found to be widely fenestrated. Previous SEM studies (1,2) have noted two general size catagories of fenestrations; large fenestrae were distributed randomly while the small type occurred in groups. These investigations also reported that large fenestrae were more numerous and larger in the endothelial cells at the afferent ends of sinusoids or around the portal areas, whereas small fenestrae were more numerous around the centrilobular portion of the hepatic lobule. It has been further suggested that under some physiologic conditions small fenestrae could fuse and subsequently become the large type, but this is, as yet, unproven.We have used a reproducible experimental model of hypoxia to study the ultrastructural alterations in sinusoidal endothelial fenestrations in order to investigate the origin of occurrence of large fenestrae.
