ABSTRACT
These particular groups are comprised of young people in a university setting; in other words, adolescent, or postadolescent groups. Many of the group members have presented with difficulties in dealing with social situations, interacting with their peers, and managing intimate relationships. The struggle to reconcile individual needs and impulses, with the longing to belong can be intense and painful. Most members have only taken a few steps away from families of origin and all the feelings relating to family failures and conflicts are fresh and pressing; they suffuse current attempts to establish, and think about, new relationships.
