The Annual S.H. Foulkes Lecture

The writings of S.H. Foulkes shift psychoanalytic focus from the isolated individual to the group context. His central concept of the 'group matrix' defines the shared web of relationships where each person acts as a 'nodal point.' Within this framework, therapy becomes a collective process of 'translation,' guided by the therapist as 'conductor.' This powerful synthesis of psychoanalysis and sociology offers a lens to view the human mind as an intrinsically social phenomenon.
