Angela Molnos, "A Question of Time: Essentials of Brief Dynamic Psychotherapy: On Brief Dynamic Therapy"
English | ISBN: 1855751070 | 1995 | 156 pages | PDF | 4 MB

This book aims to describe and explain the bias against brief psychotherapy, whilst stressing the importance of actively challenging resistance and working through the transference. It also covers the positive use of anger - even from the first session.As a group analyst concerned with social and psychological issues, Dr Angela Molnos brings a unique perspective to bear on the problems raised, both for society and the individual, by the confusion and the prejudice surrounding HIV infection and the Aids epidemic. Recognizing that these problems can vitiate even the most enlightened health care policies, she draws on her experience gained by working in several countries to put the case for the application of group analysis, through the organization of staff support groups, to those directly concerned with policy implementation; The carers themselves.In the first part of her book Dr Molnos demonstrates how, if unchecked, conscious and unconscious prejudice can promote destructive tendencies within the groups involved with HIV and AIDS patients. The second part recounts the author's experiences, and insights gained, during the course of a workshop convened in London in December 1987. The third and final section puts forward the case for applying group analysis to the health services in the HIV/AIDS sphere, and includes Dr Molnos' account of her work with a group of health advisers and the subsequent improvements in working practice obtained through the use of group-analytic method.
