ABSTRACT
As far as the training of Group Analysts goes we are in the beginning stages. It can be learned from books only to a limited degree. Personal tuition, or tuition in small groups, on the basis of practical experience is more promising. Wherever possible the prospective Group Analyst should sit in with his teacher and follow the course of at least one or two groups all through, apart from seeing as many sessions with other Conductors as he can, before he takes on groups by himself. Then the procedure can be reversed, his teachers and colleagues can visit his groups in turn. Mutual exchange of observations should be valuable for both sides. Elaborate Training Schemes in Group Analysis are at the present not practicable in the author's own field of reference. In a number the tendency is increasingly towards a group analytic approach.
