Popis: This article gives clinical examples of the fleshing out and working through of the “omnipotent child (OC),” as manifested in an open-ended twice-weekly group over a span of five years. Emphasis is placed on the role of the leader during the course of the group work. The fantasy of the “therapist's lap” is explored in detail as the core for the development of the analytic culture which exposes the OC along with its attendant resistances and narcissistic investments. This article highlights the necessity to explore the OC in all the developmental phases the members go though leading to maturation.
