The following is a selective account of the experience of conducting a weekly out-patient analytic group at the Cassel Hospital, London. Certain features of this experience are highlighted: in particular, the significance and value of a male and female co-therapy pair as conductors. Attention is drawn to the fundamentally reparative potential for damaged individuals in group psychotherapy. Such an experience may be valuable, especially in terms of it facilitating a greater degree of personality integration. Certain suggestions are made as to the prerequisites for such a psychotherapeutic approach. The observations may be useful in the provision of psychotherapy services in the Australian health care system.
