<br/><br/> Conducting an analytic group confronts us with certain issues which take on specific forms when working in institutions with people suffering from long-term psychosis. This article focuses on the function of the analytic group in the context of a post-cure center in an adult psychiatry setting, and on its connection with other types of group. Drawing on the experience of a context where therapy was initially conducted in monotherapy and only subsequently in co-therapy, the authors set out their considerations on several themes: the relation between the institutional framework and the task of conducting a group; the manifestations of the anticipated countertransference; the effects of changing the setting; and the relational and transferential modalities of psychotic patients in a group situation.
