The Social Unconscious and the Large Group Part I: The British and the Latin American Traditions

Abstract

In June 2013, the authors participated as staff in the International Workshop Studies of Large Groups and Social Unconscious, which took place in Belgrade. A major part of this participation consisted in delivering a lecture on the articulation of the British and the Latin American group analytic traditions, with a special reference to large groups. The present article is a development of that lecture. As the result was too long for publication, it has been divided in three parts, this being the first one. Here we compare the British and the Latin American group analytic traditions, and make a brief presentation of the latter.
