10.4. Teamwork of Therapists

Often, there is a need for teamwork in the treatment of a large number of people or when examining the employees of a company, or an organisation, like an association of cancer patients. In such cases, the mutual influences are somewhat different from the treatment of individual patients, and consequently, the spaces must be prepared appropriately for such treatments.

Assisting in the therapy does not make visible changes. However, teamwork of several therapists working at the same time or one after another in the same space does require special prior preparation. The most reasonable thing to do is to avoid such therapies and not to participate in a collective therapy.

Whenever two or more therapists work in the same room, we must neutralise the mutual relations between the therapists and the influence of one therapist on the patient of another therapist. This is a demanding procedure and in my experience the best thing to do is to entrust the organisation to a very qualified therapist with much experience and work practice.
