The Place of the Training Group Analyst and the Problem of Personal Group Analysis in Block Training

Abstract

This article describes the place of the training group analyst in a block training scheme. It stresses that the training institute is an outstanding and inestimable transference object, which thrusts itself into the relationship between training group and group conductor. The article discusses the dynamics of the system `group-conductor-institute' with its effects on the transference/countertransference field, the boundaries and the principle of abstinence.
