Abstract
In traditional psychoanalysis, basic concepts are either Oedipal or dyadic. Siblings, real or imaginary, form complex and important relationships. Formative and fateful processes take place between them. The dyadic and Oedipal conceptions are inconsistent with the idea of parallel transpersonal connections. Relational psychoanalysis emphasized the effect of the relationship between the therapist and the patient. Local and global politics offer additional examples of vertical and horizontal axes and the corresponding parental and sibling relations. The group analysis seems particularly close to the assimilation of thinking about sibling relationships and the horizontal axis. In the group analysis, the facilitator, who recognizes the fertility of the horizontal axis, can be aimed at strengthening the participants’ sibling relationships to deepen the therapeutic benefit of each of them.
