Think Group: The Median Art Psychotherapy Group

Abstract

The group analytic theories referring to large and median groups can offer the understanding of the benefits of large group membership; something desired but often absent from the studio /open art psychotherapy group. The suggestion to keep the focus on the group and not necessarily the individual provides the opportunity for societal, cultural, class and political concerns to be considered and actioned.
