In group therapy, in contrast to individual therapy, the ego has less difficulty with ambivalence, for conflicting emotions can be directed to different people. This wider range for reaction lessens resistance and the greater number of objects allows for a swifter change in transference. Combined individual and group therapy shortens the time needed for withdrawal in orally frustrated patients and stimulates productivity in paranoids.
