Group Analysis has its own language. Much of it is conducted in English. But it also has a language which in tone, syntax and assumptions is that of the relatively privileged, white, European, middle-class, professional. Anyone else can be included provided that they learn this language and participate in it. In this way they become ‘colonised’. What are the possibilities of becoming a group analyst without submitting to this colonisation? What new languages and discourses might be possible? Can there be only one group analysis or can there be several?
