A group analyst has an enormous influence over the group dynamics (the ‘matrix’) and this derives from his or her ‘identity or group analytic attitude’ which has been developed through training, practice and group analytic supervision.

Throughout group therapy sessions, specific dimensions appear related to each group analyst. These are of particular importance for a good evolution of group processes, pertaining to his ‘presence’ face-to-face with the group and to his personal ‘style’.

At this point, the data that have been collected are being used to develop the instrument (Beck et al, 1989).…”

“…From the previous paper in this series {Peters & Beck, 1982), we saw that the Scapegoat Leader is not well liked in the early phases of group development. This can be another clue, particularly in combination with the high level of participation, to the identity of this individual.…”
