ABSTRACT
Before starting on some of the practicalities of running a group, it is worth remembering that the whole purpose of the group is to provide a warm, trusting environment in which people can feel at ease in revealing personal matters. Caring and respect for other people, and for their feelings and points of view, are a priority. The suggestions given in this chapter are designed to help to achieve this kind of caring client-centred group which people enjoy being in.
