Group-analytic training groups for psychology students: A qualitative study

Research output: Contribution to journalJournal articleResearchpeer-review

This article presents results from an interview study of psychology students' experiences from group-analytic groups conducted at the University of Copenhagen. The primary foci are the significance of differences in themotivation participants'  personal aims of individual participantsfor participation in the group, the impact of the composition of participants on the group process, and the professional learning through the group experience. In general the interviews show a marked satisfaction with the group participation. In particular, learning about the importance of group boundaries and about being in the dual position of both helper and client is seen as important. However the fact that all group members are fellow students is challenging to the participants.
