The authors discuss their work together in a consultation process. One author led many groups that were created to facilitate recovery for persons directly impacted by the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001; the other acted as consultant to the therapist/leader. The leader was a resident of New York City at the time of the attacks; the consultant lived in a distant Midwestern city and the two had never met prior to the work. They describe their experience of working together and the role of this collaboration in the lives of the leader and the groups. Well aware that little exists in the literature about groups led by leaders having experienced the same trauma as group members, the authors pay special attention to the countertransference that each underwent and raise questions about the effects of that on the group process.
作者们在一个咨询过程中共同讨论了他们的工作。一位作者领导了许多为帮助2001年9月11日恐怖袭击的直接受害者康复而设立的小组;另一位作者则担任治疗师/小组组长的顾问。袭击发生时,组长是纽约市的居民;顾问住在遥远的中西部城市,两人在开展这项工作之前从未见过面。他们描述了合作的经历以及这种合作在组长和各小组生活中的作用。作者们深知关于由与小组成员经历相同创伤的组长所带领的小组的文献资料很少,因此特别关注各自经历的反移情现象,并对其对小组进程的影响提出了疑问。
