ABSTRACT A brief introduction is made to a training course in group facilitation run by the authors. This is further illuminated by a set of operational principles and a description of the educational approach and methodology. The core structure of the course is based upon an open group process where participants and facilitators explore whatever emerges within the group setting whilst, from time to time, adopting a meta-reflective position from which to explore the implications for facilitation. This open reflective process is further aided by various resource materials and shared facilitator information and experience. The specific challenges of experiencing this course are considered both for the participants as well as for the facilitators. Moving between the micro processes of the ‘encounter’ and the meta-position inviting reflection on the group process and facilitator competences requires mental resilience and agility. The specific psychological challenges facing the participants are considered within Rogers’ ideas related to growth, fixity and fluidity. The critical importance of facilitator empathy as a counterpoint to the potential of participants experiencing threat and shame is considered.

关于培训小组辅导员：挑战和困境

摘要 简要介绍了作者开办的团体促进培训课程。一系列操作原则以及对教育方法和方法的描述进一步阐明了这一点。课程的核心结构基于一个开放的小组过程，参与者和辅导员探索小组环境中出现的任何事物，同时不时采取元反思的立场，从中探索对促进的影响。各种资源材料和共享的协调人信息和经验进一步有助于这种开放的反思过程。参与者和辅导员都考虑了体验本课程的具体挑战。在“相遇”的微观过程和引起对团体过程和协调者能力的反思的元位置之间移动需要心理弹性和敏捷性。参与者面临的具体心理挑战在罗杰斯与成长、固定和流动性相关的想法中得到了考虑。促进者同理心的重要性被认为是与参与者经历威胁和羞耻的可能性相对应的。
