Summary
Group analytic psychotherapy is an important psychotherapeutic treatment, both in the NHS and the private sector. Many patients seek help for difficulties in social relating and maintaining intimate and supportive relationships with families, colleagues, friends and partners. Relationships are key to how we live, function, develop and respond to adversity. Harmful patterns of relating and difficulties with intimacy predispose to mental health difficulties, and impact powerfully on the ability to recover. For many people presenting in distress and seeking psychotherapy, group analytic psychotherapy should be viewed as a treatment of choice.
