THE CHALLENGE OF CREATING A GROUP-AS-A-WHOLE IN A GROUP TAKING PLACE IN A PSYCHIATRIC INSTITUTION

Sažetak
In a hospital setting, a combination of various factors - especially when it comes to an inexperienced
therapist or a therapist leading a group in a hospital (institutional) context for the
first time, a novice therapist whose approach to the group may be more authoritarian or insecure,
the selection process and characteristics of group members, the therapist’s status and
their relationship with the institution, as well as patient transference toward the clinic and
therapist – can hinder and slow down the formation of a group as a whole when compared
to non-hospital settings. The aim of this paper is to draw attention to the aforementioned
elements and elaborate on the difficulties that may arise, because awareness of all factors
affecting the group is important when dealing with them, and it serves as a foundation for
the personal growth of the therapist and, consequently, the growth of the group as well.
