ABSTRACT
The Montreal closed circuit training programme is a unique training programme that has evolved at an enormous rate in the last five years. There is a remarkable group cohesion that results from the process. In the first session of the closed circuit training programme, the patient had a massive passage of murderous rage towards the therapist, an impulse to sadistically torture and murder him, and, finally, a massive passage of guilt as she looked into the eyes of the therapist and saw the green eyes of her grandmother. In the second session, she had a similar experience of murderous rage and guilt towards the grandmother. It is important to note that many therapists who have had previous therapy arrive at the closed circuit training programme with an impaired unconscious defensive organisation. This is because many therapists outside of this programme confuse defences with major resistance.
