Dr. Nahum is a founding member of the Boston Change Process Study Group (www.bostonchangeprocessgroup.org), where he brought together a small group of practicing analysts, developmentalists, and analytic theorists to study how change occurs in psychoanalytic therapies, using models from developmental studies as well as dynamic systems theory. The views presented here were developed based on the work of that group.
