ABSTRACT

I have chosen this particular example for several reasons. First, it is one I have been recently involved in, so that details and atmosphere are fresh. It is an ongoing group, so that it shows the group process over a period of time, and how the nature of a group can change. It is a group that takes place in the community, so is not bound to any one kind of therapeutic situation (and also has difficulties arising from that fact). Finally, one or two of the sessions (which I shall describe in detail) demonstrate how widely certain themes can be interpreted by individuals.
