In this article it is proposed that group therapy can be viewed as a deep-going psychotherapeutic procedure that can offer much more than the widely acknowledged forms of individual therapy, through the examination and appropriate contrasting of the philosophies of Kierkegaard, an existential philosopher, and S.H. Foulkes. Both sought ways in which individuals could free themselves from the rigid structure of their dysfunctional behaviour and develop their individuality, so that they could live in harmony with themselves and others
