Reviews
'Nitsun has written a superb, at times, brilliant book that is lodged in the group analytic perspective but which integrates in an extremely sophisticated manner, individual psychoanalytic theory from a variety of perspectives, as well as other approaches like systems theory and social psychology.' - Psychoanalytic Books
'This scholarly and highly intelligible volume integrates history, theory, dynamics, and clinical material ... If Dr. Nitsun's masterful effort can encourage more writing and dialogue of failed experiences with and in groups, we will be closer to a coherent theoretical template for our field. The Anti-Group has made a stunning leap in this direction.' - Group Vol 20 No 4 1996
'Anyone who reads this book will find a way of looking at micro-social processes that makes the standard interactionist accounts look shallow and poverty-stricken.' - Sociology
'I would highly recommend the book to anyone interested n groups, especially therapeutic ones, and particularly their nature, evolution and process.' - Therapeutic Communities
