Farewell to a Dead Horse: Group Analytic Supervision Training in Post-War Guatemala

University of Marburg, Germany, erohr{at}staff.uni-marburg.de

Group analytic therapy, supervision, and counselling are completely unknown in Guatemala, Central America. But after a long and devastating war, an internationally supported peace and reconciliation process offered the opportunity to introduce new methods into mental health services, to cope with the psycho-social effects of a traumatized society. This article describes difficulties that were connected with the establishment of group analytic supervision training in Guatemala, focusing on aspects of trauma that emerged in supervisory case work.

Key Words: psychosocial work in post-war society • supervision training • trauma and casework • Guatemala • unconscious fears • death lists
