ABSTRACT
In a working group of four analysts meeting on some weekends over a two-year period, a transcribed, video-recorded interview with a child was studied individually then discussed in the group, with respect to the group members’ different basic assumptions. The different ways of hearing and understanding the material were worked out and portrayed in the group discourse. The experience of being in a disclosure of each individual’s own basic assumptions was linked with the experience of discovering how helpful and enjoyable this kind of reciprocity could turn out to be.
