Abstract
In this article, we are proposing love as a curative factor in group psychotherapy. Transference within a group may originate with the need and the desire for love. Through the unmasking of transference, subsequent healing may arise from a process of mourning in which group members recognize how their projection of past love onto comembers and the psychotherapist is reenacted in their current relationships. This article explores the dynamics of love and the healing power of love in group psychotherapy.
