I begin this episode with a Lovecraft story in which the main characters become “brothers” due to circumstance and commonality.

This episode is about the group dynamics of family and the roles we play within the family unit.  I use many things from my education; the one class I taught in college, my own group therapy, and the stories of group members.

I do not go into the roles until part 2.  I am not a strong proponent of strict adherence of modalities within group therapy as I also am not in regards to the family unit.

This episode explores my own experiences as well as a very drooling of empirical data that I used in my dissertation from the 1990’s.
