What is it?
A specific form of analytic therapy devised by SH Foulkes. Foulkes was originally a psychoanalyst and group analytic theory comprises psychoanalytic theory, social theory and systems theory in a unified approach to understand ourselves as individuals and relational persons in a group, social, organisational or other interpersonal contexts.
Dr Az Hakeem trained in both Individual Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy and also separately as a Group Analyst and offers both forms of psychotherapy to patients as well as being able to advise which form may be better suited to your needs or if a different form of therapeutic intervention may be indicated.
Many people have reservations about being a patient in a group setting. But here are the reasons why an analytic group is often a more powerful therapeutic medium than the individual setting:
What it is not?
No it is not just a diluted form of therapy and no it does not involve waiting your turn in the group for some therapy. Neither is it a AA/NA type of therapy group or support group or ‘drop in’ type of group.
What will it be like?
Group members have no contact with each other outside of the 90 minute weekly group sessions. As with other forms of therapy the content of the group sessions are highly confidential and members are all bound by this confidentially.
