On a similar note, Feder (2008b) pays close attention to the balance of safety and danger in the Gestalt group.
An experiment is always done within the context of support.
Members will not be able to engage in the kind of risk-taking that an experiment entails unless they feel safe in going beyond their comfort zone and venturing into new territory.
Feder is particularly concerned about creating a nurturing atmosphere within the group as a whole,
and any signs that this safety is lacking warrants the leader’s attention.
