Tullio Carere-Comes, M.D., has experienced the teaching of different psychoanalytic and psychotherapeutic schools since the years of his psychiatric residency. He was interested in the unique perspectives offered by the different schools, but rejected the dogmatism and sectarianism of most of them. He therefore negotiated every step of his training outside the institutional programs with trainers of different persuasions. Since the beginning of his career as a professional and as a researcher, his main interest has been the study of the field as a whole, of which the individual psychoanalytic and psychotherapeutic schools have each explored only a limited sector. His attempts to draw a map of the field range from Principi di terapia psichiatrica (Milan: Cortina, 1974), to "Beyond psychotherapy: Dialectical therapy" (Journal of Psychotherapy Integration, 1999). He is the Coordinator of the SEPI network in Italy (Society for the Exploration of Psychotherapy Integration) and a founding member of ARPE (Association for Research on Psychoanalysis in Europe).

Diego Napolitani, M.D., was a member of the Italian Psychoanalytic Society (IPA) from 1963 until he left it in 1999. He founded and directed the first “therapeutic communities” for psychotic patients in Italy, inspired by therapeutic communities directed by Maxwell Jones at Melrose Hospital in Scotland, and Thomas Main at Cassel Hospital in London. This experience led him to an ever greater interest in group analysis, and in historicist-relational psychoanalysis. He was a member of the Group Analytic Society founded by S.H. Foulkes in London, and in 1980 he founded the Italian Society of Group Analysis, based on this theoretical principle. By "group analysis" he means the substitution of the “monadic” representation of the mind (psyche) with its structurally relational representation (relation between inner groupings, the idem, and reorganizational or creative disposition, the autos). He has published two books in Italian: Di palo in frasca (Milan: Corpo 10, 1986) and Individualità e gruppalità (Turin: Boringhieri, 1987). Most of his work has been published in the Italian Journal of Group Analysis (Rivista Italiana di GruppoAnalisi), edited by SGAI and two other group-analytic associations. [dinapol@tin.it]
