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.
