I discovered this recording several years after Ormont’s death in 2008. Recorded 25 or more years ago, is a powerful demonstration of both the brilliance of the modern analytic group technique of bridging and the concept of progressive emotional communication, simultaneously demonstrating its tragic flaw– a blatant disregard for ethics and boundaries. At around 16 minutes into the recording, Ormont presents an example of group therapy at its best. He describes an emotional charged interaction between a male group member and the group. I was that group member. Without my knowledge and obviously without my consent, Ormont uses my name. I’ll leave it to the viewer to draw their own conclusion. Since the time of the recording I have mellowed.
