The theft of the firstborn’s birth right by a sibling is relived and re-enacted in individual and group analysis. This experience can be interpreted as a continuation of Juliet Mitchell’s theory of sibling trauma and the law of the mother, as expressed in several Bible stories and demonstrated here by clinical examples.

In groups, we encounter the entire spectrum of humour from benign jokes to hostile sarcasm. Since humour has been neglected by group analysts, this article expands the limited literature in group analysis on humour. Several theories of humour are introduced. I contend that group analysis should research humour in order to develop a group analytic theory of humour. Jokes and clinical examples are interwoven to illustrate what conductors must consider before employing humour. Reactions to and use of witticism are described. Beneficial humour techniques (therapeutic paradox, paradoxical intentions) and gallows humour are outlined. Gallows humour has therapeutic benefits for depressed, traumatized, suicidal and dying people. Vignettes are provided that demonstrate how parallel process offers insight into humour. I suggest that supervision and workshops are vital if group analysts wish to use humour. Some techniques are described, which could be taught.

Siblings and horizontal relationships have historically been overlooked in both group analysis and psychoanalysis, and this informative book is a welcome addition to the sibling literature. The editors, Smadar Ashuach and Avi Berman have collected a prolific and diverse selection of material from a range of writers from group analytic circles and individual psychotherapy. Altogether there is a sense of a passionate wish to engage with this very important subject. The book is loosely organized into four sections— ‘Sibling Relations’, ‘Sibling Trauma’, ‘The Law of the Mother’ and ‘The Horizontal Axis’, which help to delineate some of the themes studied in the book. The book is largely based on the understanding that sibling relations are governed by the need to overcome a universal trauma— that of losing the mother’s sole attention and these ideas are introduced by Earl Hopper, Juliet Mitchell and the editors in the introductory sections. The first section, ‘Sibling Relations’, opens with a fascinating chapter by Richard Billow. As in his other writings (Billow, 2015) Billow is deeply thoughtful about the impact of his own subjective experience, and here he focuses on his sibling self. His openness and willingness to examine himself through several case examples is refreshing and impressive. In one case, his recognition that he did not share a history with two squabbling group members prompted him to find a way of being different to their parents by standing back and becoming the containing parent they had not had.

Gadamerian concepts are combined with historic and group analytic conceptualizations to understand and modify expressions of different kinds of love in a long-term group. Vignettes are presented. In the interpretative encounter, affective, empathic, cultural and other resonances emerged. Through dialogue, new understanding occurred in the group about dangerous, romantic, unhealthy, narcissistic, intoxicating, unrequited, ecclesial and sexual love, which are influenced by prejudices/prejudgments, language, ideologies, tradition and (historic) horizons. Group love developed. My own positionality contributed to this process. A fusion of horizons was not always possible. Nevertheless, new understanding of sexualities, prostitution, marriage and romantic relationships was achieved in the group. I have introduced a rudimentary hermeneutic framework, which shows how prejudgments and faulty/ negative resonances of love can be modified or transformed. However, this circle is continuously ‘effected by historic un/consciousness’ and therefore never complete.
