Every therapist contends with feelings, both induced by the group members as well as those originating from the therapist’s own past.

In order for members to achieve emotional maturity, members need to join together on a verbally intimate level.

Successful group work requires leaders to accept all feelings. Working with aggression, especially in groups, can test even the most seasoned group leader.

Groups that are primarily focused on interpersonal relationships as they present in the here-and-now are vital and exciting and offer opportunities for progressive communication.
