Clinical examples of patients in group psychotherapy illustrate Freud's observations that scopophilia is primarily autoerotic, and that exhibitionism is
a defense against scopophilic wishes. In one of the cases given, the exhibitionism was negative and associated with somatic symptoms. Group participation favors the development of both these partial drives, since it provides a number of targets in the genital organs of members; a number of people engaged in mutual voyeurism.
