Page "Félix Guattari" Paragraph 3

One particularly novel orientation developed at La Borde consisted of the suspension of the classical analyst / analysand pair in favour of an open confrontation in group therapy.

In contrast to the Freudian school's individualistic style of analysis, this practice studied the dynamics of several subjects in complex interaction ; it led Guattari into a broader philosophical exploration of, and political engagement with, a vast array of intellectual and cultural domains ( philosophy, ethnology, linguistics, architecture, etc.

).
