Abstract: | This article describes the termination of one group co-therapist without replacement. The period between J. W's announced departure and actual leaving brought into vivid perspective transference issues toward the co-therapists as a parental dyad. The rupture of this dyad had powerful consequences, which are discussed. In addition the therapist who remained (T.S.) had the unique opportunity to observe the group members reactions to termination after the termination actually took place. The group is presented and some process material is included. |
