Abstract summary 

This paper describes the decade-long, successful experience of developing a group therapy training program for mental health professionals in China. The perspectives of two Western group therapy instructors/supervisors and of a Chinese colleague who participated broadly in the program are described. We explore our understanding of Western ideas about group therapy and how these were experienced in the Chinese context. We address the opportunities that emerged at the interface of two very different cultures, and the challenges of translating and integrating Western group therapy principles and practices within a culture with a very different history and worldview.
