In 1989, along with twenty-five other individuals interested in group dynamics, I participated in a large group experience in Melbourne, Australia. This was initiated by Dr Peter McCallum and myself following our experience in a Group-Analytic Society (London) Winter Workshop. Dr Stanley Gold and Dr Ann Morgan were the conductors. The group met for one-and-a-half hours at night on a weekly basis for five months. The following represents some of my reflections about four months after the large group experience ceased. I was invited to contribute comments at an Australian Association of Group Psychotherapy meeting. I had neither made notes during the large group sessions nor since it ended. In addition there was no communication between the conductors and myself on the topic prior to our joint formal presentation. To what degree repression plays a part in what I said I am uncertain.

This chapter provides instructions for conducting the eighth session of meaning-centered group psychotherapy. The reader is instructed to help members to reflect on their group experience in light of the last seven sessions. Facilitators will facilitate dialogue and reflection around members’ thoughts and feeling surrounding the finality of their group experience in light of facing important transitions and facing their own mortality due to their cancer illness. They will also guide the group in exploring what it has been like to share their cancer experiences and life stories with others in the group and to witness others’ stories in return. Time should be given to share and explore members’ final ‘Legacy Projects,’ as well as meaningful experiences within the group process. Time should also be allotted for patients to offer feedback regarding their group experience and hopes for the future.

The Royal College of Psychiatrists classifies group psychotherapy as required experience for psychotherapy training as part of general psychiatric training (Grant et al, 1993). This is defined as group experience in in-patient and/or out-patient settings, with an experienced co-therapist and/or supervision. Previous surveys estimate that the percentage of trainees gaining such experience ranges from only 9% (Arnott et al, 1993) to 58% (Hwang & Drummond, 1996). The limited duration of psychiatric training does not allow experience in all types of psychotherapy and trainees must therefore be selective in respect to their own training, depending on what is available.
