This paper is an exploration of what constitutes the `Group-analytic' approach. It examines the repertoire of possible interventions their content, timing and motivation. The discussion is framed in a larger debate that explores some of the differences and similarities between humanistic and analytic philosophy and methodology. The thoughts and questions raised in this paper have arisen in the clinical setting. The references made to the practice of particular group analysts have been communicated by themselves in informal and private discussions.
