Kombinacija različitih faktora -osobito kada se radi o nedovoljno iskusnom terapeutu ili terapeutu koji prvi put vodi grupu u bolničkom (institucijskom) kontekstu, terapeutu-početniku čiji pristup grupi može biti više autoritaran ili nesiguran, način odabira i karakteristike kandidata za grupu, status i odnos terapeuta s institucijom te transferi pacijenata naspram klinike i terapeuta -mogu u bolničkom settingu utjecati na otežano i sporije stvaranje grupe kao cjeline u odnosu na vanbolničke settinge. U ovom se radu želi skrenuti pozornost na navedene elemente i elaborirati teškoće koje se mogu pojaviti jer je svijest o svim čimbenicima koji utječu na grupu važna u suočavanju s istima te temelj za osobno sazrijevanje terapeuta, a posljedično i grupe./ In a hospital setting, a combination of various factors -especially when it comes to an inexperienced therapist or a therapist leading a group in a hospital (institutional) context for the first time, a novice therapist whose approach to the group may be more authoritarian or insecure, the selection process and characteristics of group members, the therapist's status and their relationship with the institution, as well as patient transference toward the clinic and therapist -can hinder and slow down the formation of a group as a whole when compared to non-hospital settings. The aim of this paper is to draw attention to the aforementioned elements and elaborate on the difficulties that may arise, because awareness of all factors affecting the group is important when dealing with them, and it serves as a foundation for the personal growth of the therapist and, consequently, the growth of the group as well.
