Educational Objectives:
Upon completion of this activity, the learners will be able to:
- explain how group analysis, as introduced by Foulkes, transcends the limitations of psychoanalysis and integrates the dimensions it has ignored or denied.
- utilize a conceptualization of a world view that identifies all of our perceptions, thoughts, feelings and actions as being derived from the introjection of our primary personal relations and the social context in which they occur.
- identify the limitations of an individual paradigm and the utility of recognizing that the distinction between the individual and society is an abstraction in that the individual carries the society within them.
