Transference reactions in group treatment are more intense than in the individual
relationship with a therapist. Combined analysis of the primary parent-child (analyst and patient) relationship, and the family-sibling-society (patient in the group treatment experience) relationship, proved more than helpful. Such patients acted out less and developed a less disabling dependency on the therapist. This combined analysis 'appears to reach the totality of the personality structure, since it utilizes the various transferences in a realistic, meaningful manner'.
