A therapist who focuses on the concepts of resistance and transference is most likely using a psychoanalytic approach to group therapy. A psychoanalytic approach would focus on the client's growth through the uncovering of the client's unconscious self and awareness of past experiences. These discoveries provide insight into current patterns and difficulties. Concepts such as resistance, transference, and working through are central to the theory of psychoanalysis.
