Abstract: | When a group is led by a single individual the therapist's absence creates a management problem. This article presents several options for the solo leader. The author has used a substitute leader, and this experience is presented and evaluated. Discussion includes selection of a substitute, group preparation, ongoing use of the substitute, and benefits of this alternative for the management of the leader's absence. |
