Abstract
Experience with a support group for caregivers of demented relatives led to the identification of a group defense against individual expression of painful emotions. An active psychotherapeutic approach was employed to confront this defense with no overall detriment to the group and apparent benefit to some individual members. This paper describes the dynamics of the transition from support group to therapy group.
