ABSTRACT
I wish to discuss some aspects of group therapy with psychotic patients based on psychoanalytical principles. I shall draw on experience with small groups of such patients in a day hospital setting and in an in-patient rehabilitation ward, both at the Whittington Hospital, 1976–7 I shall base much of the thinking on this topic on Freud's work on groups and on psychosis, with in addition contributions from Bion and Main.
