In this article the conceptual clarification and application of group analytic
thinking to the development of a virtual environment is discussed. The virtual
institute of Group Analysis was created to provide the platform for a part-time
distance learning postgraduate program in an academic department. Various fields of
group analytic work have been consulted to formulate design principles in generating
the conceptual idiom to present the course content. Various group analytic
constructs are summoned to support the initial phase of formulating both the
designed structure and the connecting communicational flow support structures. The
virtual environment offers innovative possibilities but conceptual clarification and
refinement of the various relational dynamics are still required.
