Intersectionality and Group Analysis 1st Edition

Intersectionality and Group Analysis — 1st Edition by Suryia Nayak and Alasdair Forrest

Step into a thoughtful, practice-oriented exploration of how intersecting social identities shape group dynamics and therapeutic work. This compelling volume reimagines group analysis through an intersectional lens, offering clinicians, researchers, students and community practitioners a clear map for understanding power, difference and belonging within group settings.

Combining rigorous theory with accessible insight, the authors illuminate how race, gender, class, sexuality, disability and other markers of identity interact in ways that influence communication, conflict and healing. Clear explanations of core concepts are paired with real-world reflections that make complex ideas immediately relevant to group therapy, counselling, community facilitation and organisational practice.

What readers gain:
– A deeper ability to recognise and respond to structural inequality within group processes.
– Practical frameworks for fostering inclusion, safety and constructive dialogue.
– Enhanced cultural competence for practitioners working in diverse settings across the UK, Europe, the US and beyond.

Written in a direct, engaging voice, this first edition balances scholarly depth with practical usability. Whether you are a trainee therapist, an experienced group analyst, or a social justice–minded facilitator, this book equips you to lead more reflective, ethical and effective groups.
