Abstract
(1) A study of four groups, two of mothers and two of children, revealed that the previously described reproduction constellation and inadequacy constellation of forces provided the energy for resistances to the group therapeutic process. The resistances served to maintain an immediate adjustment to the energy derived from the inadequacy and reproduction constellations. (2) Some aspect of the child-parent problem was evidently the main form that the initial resistances took. (3) The individual members of the groups worked to transform their individual resistances so that they might the better deal with the influence of the therapist in the area in which the therapist was found to be frustrating to the development of the constellation of forces described. (4) The group members operated to induce impulses in the group therapist which were resistive to the therapeutic process. (5) The emotionally intensified forces of the group situation may be channelized into a process therapeutic for both the individual members of the group and the group therapist, if they can be directed towards the resolution of resistances which operate to delay the therapeutic process.
