title: [The founding of group analysis by Trigant Burrow - a peculiar amnesia within the tradition of group analysis].
abstract: The concept of group analysis as formulated by Trigant Burrow (1875-1950), the founder of group analysis, will be explicated on the basis of three of his most important essays. Emphasis will be placed 1. on Burrow's dialogue with psychoanalysis--he regarded group analysis as a methodological development of psychoanalysis--as well as 2. on the particular meaning of certain contents which are defended against on the social level and which can be made conscious and worked through in group analysis. Burrow's work has been largely forgotten by group analysts. This amnesia is understood as a social defense elicited by Burrow's thoughts and analyses of pathological social relationships, which exist throughout society and to which psychoanalysts and group analysts are also subject.
