safe, because of clear, negotiated agreements by all parties with regard to the extent of limits of confidentiality;

an opportunity to ventilate emotion without comeback;
the opportunity to deal with material and issues that practitioners may have been carrying for many years (the chance to talk about issues which cannot easily be talked about elsewhere and that may have been previously unexplored);
