Abstract
ABSTRACT The current paper was an invited keynote given at the 2023 Connect Conference of the American Group Psychotherapy Association. The paper addresses the current struggles with love and hate in society and in therapy groups. The author elaborates on how our society has been living through collective traumas, and she focuses on how the pandemic and traumatic social currents have been undermining our collective sense of well-being. They have also been a source of important creative changes in our society and in process and therapy groups. The author examines malignant hate in society, the development of the self, her personal experiences with hate, her experiences conducting “Love and Hate Institutes” at AGPA conferences, and it concludes with a commentary on how developing yourself in a therapy/process group can help you live more fully and contribute to society.
