What is a writing group? Dilemmas of the leader

A writing group can serve to support literary and therapeutic goals. A model of a writing group described in the article assumes a leader with literary and clinical training. The leader's dilemma in such a model in a bifocal form such as giving and receiving feedback is to know when and how far to interpret group members' psychological issues.
