Sumario:Part of a special section on how recognized experts discuss and implement the idea of resistance in their practices. The writer discusses multiple forms of resistances in a hospital setting, including patients' resistances toward reality, staff resistances toward patients and toward other staff, and her own counterresistances. The examples she presents derive from within the psychiatric system itself, group work with a chronically ill population, a multiple family therapy group, and a case conference setting. She outlines how the multiple forms of resistances are understood and some of their resolutions.
