The Journey from Psychoanalysis to Group Analysis presents a selection of papers from Malcolm Pines’s long career, documenting his profound contribution to group analysis and its applications.

John Schlapobersky, editor, is a well-established author who organised the collection in: History; Development of Method; Metapsychology/Neurology; Final Papers. The compilation distils the life’s work of a pioneer in many fields - psychiatrist, psychoanalyst, group analyst, editor and author. Pines’s writing encompasses psychoanalytic and group analytic theory, developmental psychology, neuroscience, ethology, social science, language theory and mythology. He seeks their integration in the crucible of group analysis.

The book will become an essential text in psychotherapy and therapeutic communities - of value to students and readers in psychoanalysis and psychotherapy, politics, social and neurological sciences, humanities and language theory.
