| Abstract: | The future of group psychotherapy is seen in the context of social and historical links which demonstrate a pervasive ambivalence about groups, leading to idealisation, fear, and attack on the group. The author's personal history, paralleled by literary references, forms a backdrop to the debate. The concept of the Anti-Group is presented as a binding principle that in its therapeutic application represents the hope of recognition and transformation. |
