The anti-candidate considers starting a group.
The hurdles to starting a group reside primarily in the therapist. The author shares how her unformulated dread in beginning a private practice psychotherapy group was enacted and then transformed by the group training process itself. The discussion illustrates how disavowed affects-and affects of disavowal-were contained for eventual understanding and growth within the curative embrace of the training group.
