ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses the importance of language in psychotherapy and in group analytic culture, for example, where one of the most vital factors that come into the process of the training and clinical practice is language that is used to communicate feelings, especially as psychotherapy and psychoanalysis have their own special languages, which convey special meanings. It examines the issue of language and multiculturalism in the therapies and discussed how cultures are guided in the forming of words that make up their languages by different factors in their environments. Psychotherapy of the Western European and North American models is predominantly the preserve of the middle classes both in terms of the language used in the application of treatment by the method and in terms of the theoretical orientation which forms the basis for practice. The chapter also presents some closing thoughts on the key concepts discussed in the preceding chapters of this book.
