There are some special instructions that I shall explain after listing the clues.

1d Therapy starts with doctor in operation (6) T _ I _ O _
19d Coffee perhaps produced in French former Asian protectorate (6) _ R _ N _ _
27a Taking on union ringleader, dismissed (8) _ E _ _ _ ING

Special instructions
One of the 3 clues above (I don't know which one) you must add an "I" to the wordplay to get the definition.
The other two clues (again I don't know which two) are both undefined, but after solving the rest of the puzzle one of them has the definition "triangle" and the other "relating". From the wording of the clues, I suspect that 27a has the definition "relating", but it may not be!

Many thanks

Oops, I am definitely a genius aren't I? Wrong category!

"relating" is obviously an anagram of triangle.

If you're not a genius (me neither), JJ, what category are you claiming?

Sorry v-e I went out. This should obviously be in crosswords
There are six related clues with answers
Triangle, Relating, Tanglier, Alerting, Altering and Integral. These are all anagrams of each other.
There are a further six clues that have no definition but the wordplay leads to a synonym (sort of) of those six answers
I have already solved the clues for the synonyms for Integral, alerting, altering and tanglier, therefore two of those that are left relate to "triangle" and "relating"
I trust you understand!

Further info - the 4th letter of 27a = the last letter of 19d

Many thanks Iminoz - I'm kicking myself re Brunei as I had that myself and rejected it on the basis that it was not a "French" protectorate, rather than associate "French" with the coffee!
