The author proposes that group identifications have been under-appreciated by individual psychodynamic psychotherapists in their conceptualization of normative individual development. He identifies the routes by which the child begins to internalize small and large groups during the early years of identity formation. Through individual therapy vignettes, the author suggests modifications to customary technique so that developmental shortcomings in group attachment security can be shored up. He offers some guidelines for the individual therapist so that group experiences are accounted for as the clinical narrative is written. Finally, he distinguishes patients who may require additional group-level interventions to address their avoidance of group participation.
作者提出，在对正常个体发展进行概念化时，个体动力心理治疗师对群体认同的重视程度不够。他确定了儿童在身份形成的早期开始内化小群体和大群体的途径。通过个体治疗案例，作者建议对常规技术进行修改，以加强群体依恋安全性方面的发展缺陷。他为个体治疗师提供了一些指导原则，以便在撰写临床叙述时考虑到群体经验。最后，他区分了可能需要额外的群体干预措施来解决其回避群体参与的患者。
