Here and now, transference and archaic behaviour patterns in the (therapeutic) group.

The manifold interactions in each group reflect processes between the membe rs linked to the momentaneous situation and, on a dee er, mainly unconsciou s level transferences, which are reciprocally evoked by members as well as the group constellation as a whole. The behaviour patterns which become man ifest in a group however, are not only result of specific individual experi ences of the participants, but also of arc aic patterns of human reactions, which may be released in the framework of collectives. In therapeutic grou ps these multiple determinants should be considered. The members should be trained to gain an insight in the complex innerpsychic as well as interacti onal processes, in which they are included and to undergo a social learning process.
