The author suggests that disturbances that involve the genetic structure of the ego itself (character problems, 'narcissistic formations') on the whole respond well to group analysis. Individual analysis is more suitable for transference neuroses. In groups one can observe the dynamic interplay of pathogenic and therapeutic mechanisms, revealing data and providing material for analysis which might otherwise not be available.
