Hi Dan and Mary,
I really appreciate reading your thoughts on this. My feeling is that it is
important to work in a group setting for the sake of the community. I have no
doubt it can be hard to attract a group and no doubt that that could be
explored in other arenas, but sense is that in the Western world - and
particularly in America, we have less and less sense of community and more and
more sense of our disconnectedness to others. Individual psychotherapy is a
means of continuing this way of being. The group situation is very powerful
and the feeling of love that one experiences for the group can be brought into
our local fragmented disconnected communities. We are all connected, though it
is so easy to forget this.
