In this article the author will use the concept of location of disturbance and systems theory and relate these to Anzieu’s work, in particular his concept of the transitional analysis. She will then describe the work in a “staff group”, also called a “reflective practice group” which are much used in the UK hospitals and institutions at the present time. They occupy this transitional space between the care of the patient and the organisation.
