ABSTRACT

Trainees on the Qualifying Course at the Institute of Group Analysis have to locate themselves in a variety of settings. There is the group of trainees admitted in the same year, with whom they are taught; the small therapy group, attended twice a week before, throughout and, often, after completing other requirements of the course; a weekly supervision group at the Institute; and, in my case, a further weekly supervision group at the NHS Hospital, St Bartholomew’s, where I put together and started my training group. So it was that I brought my training group to two supervision groups, to two women supervisors.
