The psychoanalytic group setting, due to its emotional and interpersonal complexity, is likely to call forth transference predispositions that may never emerge in the one-to-one setting. These are likely to arise at a point when the group interaction induces in the patient some experience of negative impact. Such experiences may center on the patient's negative feelings about himself, on his negative feelings vis-à-vis the group, the group analyst, or the group experience. Three clinical vignettes are presented to illustrate how such feelings of deficiency can be leveraged to carry forth processes of transference resolution.
