Abstract: 
Against the background of an interview study, which starts from the retrospectively reported group experience and analyzes it qualitatively, the concept of the difficult group situation (SG) will first be proposed. SG are understood as potential breaking points where the helpful alliance is particularly challenged. Following on from this, it is examined how the patients dealt with the SG. Five subgroups are described, each dealing differently with the SG. SG can lead to retreats but can also cause learning processes as a challenge. SG are influenced by the leadership style, the type of group members and individual psychodynamic readiness. Therapeutically it is important to anticipate, accompany and post-process SG, if necessary also to support the patients in supplementary individual discussions.
