The Location of Sexuality in Group Analysis

Dieter Nitzgen

Im Kalchen 20, 79379 Müllheim/Baden, Germany, Dieter.Nitzgen{at}rehaklinik-birkenbuck.de

This article addresses the subject of sexuality in group analysis, and tries to locate it in a group analytic context. To do so, Foulkes’ late paper on the ‘Oedipus Conflict and Regression’ (1972) is taken as a starting point. It is argued that both Foulkes, and later de Maré have convincingly shown that psycho-sexuality cannot be localized in the body, but has to be located in the group. This basic group analytic assumption has an affinity to certain Lacanian key concepts, namely the concepts of desire and of jouissance. Both are discussed and put into perspective.

Key Words: desire • jouissance • Oedipus Complex • psycho-sexuality • Lacanian psychoanalysis
