Content
"Beyond the Anti-group: survival and transformation" builds on the success of Morris Nitsun's influential concept of the Anti-group, taking it into new domains of thought and practice in the current century. The concept focuses on anxiety and hostility within, towards and between groups, as well as the destructive potential of groups. In Beyond the Anti-group". Morris Nitsun continues his inquiry into the clinical implications of the anti-group but also explores the concept beyond the consulting room, in settings as wide-ranging as cultural and environmental stress in the 21st century, the fate of public health services and the themes of contemporary art. Groups are potentially destructive but also have the capacity for survival, creativity and transformation. Focusing on the interplay between the two, Morris Nitsun explores the struggle to overcome group impasse and dysfunction and to emerge stronger. By tracking this process in a range of cultural settings, the author weaves a rich tapestry in which group psychotherapy, organizational process and the arts come together in unexpected and novel ways.The author draws on group analysis and the Foulkesian tradition as his overall discipline but within a critical frame that questions the relevance of the approach in a changing world, highlighting new directions and opportunities. Readers of Beyond the Anti-group: Survival and Transformation will be stimulated by the depth, breadth and creativity of the author's analysis and by the excursion into new fields of inquiry. The book offers new impetus for psychotherapists, group analysts and group practitioners in general, students of group and organizational processes, and those working on the boundary between psychotherapy and the arts.

Reviews
"Morris Nitsun's third major publication, 'Beyond the Anti-group: Survival and Transformation" is a courageous book: relentless in its determination to address all facets of human nature, its capacity for denial and destructiveness as well as its ability to generate repair. His treatment of a key topic - the survival of the psychotherapy group - is far-reaching: creative, respectful, probing, poignantly personal, clinically sound, realistic, and ultimately hopeful. Further, the book urges us to keep pace with a rapidly changing world without relinquishing social - as opposed to virtual - communication. It is a must read for all who are concerned that an infatuation with technology and efficiency threaten what is essentially human about us."- Jerome S. Gans, MD, Associate Clinical Professor, Harvard Medical School, Distinguished Life Fellow, American Group Psychotherapy Association & American Psychiatric Association "All who are serious about the survival and flourishing of both group analysis and our wider world should pay attention to his arguments." - Sasha Roseneil, Professor of Sociology and Social Theory, Birkbeck, University of London, and group analyst "Morris Nitsun's pursuit of the difficult and uncomfortable aspects of groups adds spice to his enthusiasm and love for what they can offer - and for our all working creatively with groups. His long career as a clinician, particularly in the NHS, adds gravitas and power to his observations and his lucid writing illuminates complex and subtle aspects of group process. And a further delight - his talent as an artist flavours his exploration of the arts, taking the anti-group on a new and exciting adventure. Don't miss it!" - Sue Einhorn, M.Inst GA; Scientific Chair GASI "This is Morris Nitsun's most comprehensive text on group analysis to date, a product of his multi-faceted career, including that of successful artist. It is his most original and thoughtful book, refusing to accept conventional wisdom and fashion in group analysis, stepping right outside the b
