The authors are describing a particular style of group psychotherapy as it is taught and practiced at the Tavistock Clinic in London. The main empahsis on group transference interpretations is explained by stating the explicit and implicit theoretical backgrounds of this paradigm and discussing the tacit conventions of this particular model of group psychotherapy. The authors then focus on clinical material, partly in order to illustrate the theoretical points discussed, but mainly in order to bring to life the practice of group psychotherapy. The emphasis on practice is an essential feature of the Tavistock approach.
作者正在描述一种在伦敦塔维斯托克诊所教授和实践的团体心理治疗的特定风格。通过阐述这种范式的明确和隐含理论背景，并讨论这种团体心理治疗特定模式的默认惯例，来解释对团体移情解释的主要强调。然后作者专注于临床素材，部分目的是为了阐明所讨论的理论要点，但主要目的是为了展现团体心理治疗的实践。对实践的强调是塔维斯托克方法的一个基本特征。
