In group therapy, the places selected by the patients represent significant derivatives of unconscious conflict and can be studied in terms of 'the body ego of the group'. Tabulated results show that it is not mere coincidence where patients sit. This was correlated to material presented during the session by the patients. Hostility toward the therapist was manifested by sitting directly in front of him; when members sat on the left, they tended to disagree with the group; those on the right tended to be more compliant; sitting very close to the therapist or far removed also had specific meanings.
