Group Psychotherapy

Through the joint work of several people in a therapeutically guided group, group-dynamic phenomena such as transference and counter-transference are used for therapy and further development.
It is a challenge for participants to open up in the group and to put their own issues up for discussion. Over time, many experience a reduction of anxiety, greater openness and developmental progress through taking on additional, enriching perspectives.
Mental disorders of the individual can only be understood in the context of his or her social development and environment; healing processes can unfold only if these social conditions are integrated. The psychotherapeutic group offers a particularly suitable setting for this (cf. S. H. Foulkes).

Me, you, us?

Result of interpersonal exchange processes

Thus, mental disorders of the individual can only be understood in the context of his or her social development and environment. Thus healing processes can only unfold if these social conditions are integrated. This can be done most effectively in a psychotherapeutic group.
