ABSTRACT
The theme of group identities and of intergroup differences and potential hostilities referred to in chapter nine here forms the focus for a study of these issues in individual relationships. Specifically, it explores within the context of a workshop how far and in what directions ethnic differences or similarities might be seen to affect the psychotherapeutic relationship. This exploratory small-scale research endeavour, focussed on a number of ‘self-referring’ teenagers, may not provide, nor claim to provide, universal answers. It does, however, offer some very rewarding, hopeful, and interesting developments.
