ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on the conducting challenge, which is the greatest of all: the difficulty in giving up the therapeutic dyad and replacing it with group conducting. It suggests that the group and the personal are two concomitant modalities of human existence. However, the significance of the individual varies greatly following the concept of matrix and the recognition of the group entity. The contribution of group analysis is the patient's transformation from a state of intrapersonal introversion into a state of integration within interpersonal communication and affiliation. Israelis, Jews and non-Jews, are familiar with the experience of minority and the threat of exclusion and oppression. Group analysis offers an alternative option: while, in individual therapy, the good object is mainly the therapist, in group analysis the good object is mainly the entire group. Group analysis is based on the recognition of the personal, social, and professional value of the inclusion of others.
