In this selection of papers, Malcolm Pines explores many different aspects of psychoanalysis and group analysis. Section one contains four papers that emphasize mirroring, child development and healing. Section two looks at the development of the psychoanalytic movement and the relationship of dynamic psychotherapy to psychoanalysis. The final sections consider the historical context of psychoanalysis, with a particular emphasis on the development of both psychoanalysis and psychodynamic psychiatry in the UK.

For many, Malcolm Pines personifies the institution of group analysis. He was one of the founders of the Group Analytic Society and the Institute of Group Analysis, and in this selection of his papers the depth of his mastery of social science, enriched with his knowledge of literature and philosophy, is clear. The collection includes work on the development of the psychoanalytic movement, its historical context, and the relationship of dynamic psychotherapy to psychoanalysis; and also focuses on mirroring, child development and healing.
