ABSTRACT
Group matrix is a theoretical construct of the operative dynamic interaction in the group process. It is also possible to approach the group matrix as a creative building process of the web of communications. Like a colorful tapestry, each Member participates with his or her special needle and thread color. Emphasizing the creative quality of the matrix, Cortesao points out that in Latin, 'matrix' means a mother, a womb, a place of origin and growth. The group matrix is intimately related to the attitude and contribution of the group analyst. This type of intervention is more efficient for clients who are capable of introspection and insight. Among those are therapeutic and training groups in clinics, therapeutic communities, institutes, and private practice. This type of intervention can be felt as leading to a 'laissez-faire' group, that is, without any boundaries. It may appear so, but for me being part of the group matrix does not mean being an equal part.
