Social Theory for Group Therapists

University of Essex

It is argued that group analysts' references to sociology and sociologists are often limited by their lack of awareness of contemporary theories and debates within the discipline. A distinction is made between sociology and social theory and it is argued that some ideas from contemporary social theory, particularly the work of Habermas and Foucault, provide useful sensitising ideas for understanding the wider meaning of our work and developing a critical conception of our profession and our activities.

Key Words: group therapy • social theory • sociology
