Socio-Cultural Aspects of British and American Group Psychotherapy

Eric Van Schoor

Institute of Group Analysis (London)

This paper presents a socio-cultural critique of contemporary American and Foulkesian traditions of group psychotherapy. It is argued that the American ethos of individualism has had an impact upon group psychotherapy, promoting an ideology of the autonomous individual, and the Foulkesian view, which gives primacy to the social dimension, is compared to certain American contemporary group approaches.

Key Words: autonomous individual • conformism • eclectic harmony • revisionism • social integration
