Exhibitions are a recognised component of a company's marketing mix, The medium however suffers from a distinct lack of integration and understanding in the broad marketing fraternity. Little research on the subject has been done and published, especially in South Africa. This exploratory study focuses on the use of the exhibition medium as a part of a company's marketing effort. Respondents question the return on investment and the measurability of the medium, while the benefits are in agreement with other published literature. Future research on the effectiveness of the medium and the impact of technology is recommended, as well as the viability of the medium on the marketing of services.

The paper addresses the question of reparation in post-apartheid South Africa. The central hypothesis of the paper is that in South Africa current traumas or losses, such as the 2008 xenophobic attacks, may activate a ‘shared unconscious phantasy’ of irreparable damage inflicted by apartheid on the collective psyche of the South African nation which could block constructive engagement and healing. A brief couple therapy intervention by a white therapist with a black couple is used as a ‘microcosm’ to explore this question. The impact of an extreme current loss, when earlier losses have been sustained, is explored. Additionally, the impact of racial difference on the transference and countertransference between the therapist and the couple is explored to illustrate factors complicating the productive grieving and working through of the depressive position towards reparation.
