Abstract

Various methods have been utilized in training group therapists. Some of the methods reported in the literature are role training and experiential training (J. L. Moreno, 1946); didactic teachings, vicarious experiences (Hadden, 1947) ; apprenticeship training, seminar discussion groups, participant learning (Ahearn, 1968; Sadock, Kaplan, and Freedman, 1968; Sisson, Sisson, and Gazda, 1973; Warkentin, 1955); and various combinations of the above single approaches (Berman, 1953; Ganzarian, Davanzo, and Cizaletti, 1958; Horwitz, 1968; Ruiz and Burgess, 1968).
