Abstract
Beginning with metaphorical comparison to a barber's shop, where patients in group-analytic psychotherapy may be `customers' or `the barber', this article explores the changing group dynamics where two small groups are merged to make one larger group. Some aspects of work with the unconscious in the psychoanalytic group are highlighted, documenting those aspects which changed in the course of the merger and with references to some of the concepts of Jacques Lacan and his view of the function of analysis.
