Identity and personality disorders in group analytic psychotherapy

Abstract

The phenomena inherent in the organization of personality and its constitution of identity in group dynamics starts from an accurate theoretical study that translates into a punctual system inserted in the clinical application context. The epistemological and methodological framework, following the neotenic and the biopsychocultural models that place the clinical and intervention perspective within the matrix and the group experience, connects the most advanced scientifc studies of an anthropological, neuropsychological and psychodynamic nature. The group discovers and shows the double imaginary (the symbolpoietic and the etiological) as a manifestation of creative dynamics and what is called malignant narcissism. The therapeutic Group offers us a cross-section of the whole of humanity, biologically linked to an endless childhood, whose future is decidedly uncertain, due to an omnipotent “adultomorphic” armor that denies the Other and endangers the very life of the other creatures of our planet.
