`This is an extremely interesting book which succeeds in combining erudition with great clarity, respect of tradition with a refreshing search for new perspectives... It is also a book which sums up the work carried out in Italy and in France and often ignored by the Anglo-Saxon group analyst. In line with such work it links Freud, Bion and Foulkes within a group perspective.'

- from the foreword by Malcolm Pines

Group explores the processes that take place within groups from a psychoanalytical perspective. Combining his own original concepts with a critique of established theories, Claudio Neri describes how groups are formed and develop, and analyses what non-verbal or extra-verbal phenomena are present in human communication, and how they occur in practice. The author uses examples from various art forms from around the world to show the universality of such human communication. Although it deals with difficult new ideas, the book contains user-friendly inserts within the text to explain particular concepts as they arise for those unfamiliar with the subject. A substantial glossary also provides explanation of the many complex terms used thoroughout the book.

Industry Reviews

Irrespective of your views regarding psychoanalysis, if you intend working as a professional psychologist in any one of the numerous disciplines of psychology then this book is geared for you ... Neri provides an excellent reference and explanatory text for any discipline that involves working with individuals ... Group allows its readers to explore psychoanalysis from more than the American and British perspective. It opens the door into the world of French and Italian thinking, while encompassing the works of Freud, Bion and Foulkes, not to mention Claudio Neri's own wealth of experience ... Group will outlast many student days and remain an excellent reference well into professional practice: a brilliant read from a brilliant mind.
