Curricular information is subject to change.

This module is offered over two years and trainees are required to participate in group analytic supervision and to reflexively engage in the process. They will also contribute actively in the dynamic experience by reflecting on and applying group analytic principles in the work.
Further to this trainee will plan for, establish and facilitate a short-term group (minimum twelve weeks) as group leader. Trainees will particularly focus on the tenets of dynamic administration and engage with a group analytic perspective in its preparation, delivery and supervision of the group.
