“While in principle groups for survivors are a good idea, in practice it soon becomes apparent that to organize a successful group is no simple matter. Groups that start out with hope and promise can dissolve acrimoniously, causing pain and disappointment to all involved. The destructive potential of groups is equal to their therapeutic promise. The role of the group leader carries with it a risk of the irresponsible exercise of authority.
Conflicts that erupt among group members can all too easily re-create the dynamics of the traumatic event, with group members assuming the roles of perpetrator, accomplice, bystander, victim, and rescuer. Such conflicts can be hurtful to individual participants and can lead to the group’s demise. In order to be successful, a group must have a clear and focused understanding of its therapeutic task and a structure that protects all participants adequately against the dangers of traumatic reenactment. Though groups may vary widely in composition and structure, these basic conditions must be fulfilled without exception.
Commonality with other people carries with it all the meanings of the word common. It means belonging to a society, having a public role, being part of that which is universal. It means having a feeling of familiarity, of being known, of communion. It means taking part in the customary, the commonplace, the ordinary, and the everyday. It also carries with it a feeling of smallness, or insignificance, a sense that one’s own troubles are ‘as a drop of rain in the sea.â€� The survivor who has achieved commonality with others can rest from her labors. Her recovery is accomplished; all that remains before her is her life.”

“It is [Simon] Wessely’s often-unconcealed “derisionâ€� directed towards people with ME -- a disease from which people die and which appears on Coronersâ€� death certificates as the cause of death -- which arouses such anger, an anger that is not confined to patients in the UK but encompasses medical scientists in other countries whose decision-makers have come under Wessely’s thrall.”

“I-aÈ›i explicat instrucÈ›iunile pentru candidaÈ›i?â€�, mi-au È™uierat pe la urechi cuvintele preÈ™edintelui comisiei de examen, la care am răspuns cu un „Daâ€� de confruntare. Moment în care preÈ™edintele iese val-vârtej din sala de examen È™i mă lasă în faÈ›a ochilor cu candidatul: o femeie în jur de 40 de ani căreia îi țâșnesc lacrimile, mâinile îi tremură, respiraÈ›ia îi este bolovănoasă. Cuvintele care îi ies din gâtlej zgârie liniÈ™tea spaÈ›iului cultivată de ceilalÈ›i 14 candidaÈ›i care aÈ™teaptă să îi răspund: „Și eu acum ce fac?”
