Breaking Down the Walls: Group Analysis in a Prison

Peter T. Wilson

IGA; The Group Analytic Practice, 88 Montagu Mansions, London W1U 6LF, UKptwilson{at}ntlworld.com

Prisons serve to rescue us from the real need to think about the causes and effects of criminality including our shared responsibility for understanding destructiveness. The reluctance to think and share is mirrored in the structure of prison life and in the individual(ized) psyches of criminals. Group analysis with its emphasis on the matrix, ego training in action and power relations, offers the best opportunity to address these issues.

Key Words: prison • society • power relations • splitting • matrix
