As a specialized modality of the broader field of group psychotherapy, which in turn is a specialized modality of (psychoanalytic) psychotherapy, group-analytic research must address problems peculiar to group analysis as well as problems encountered in group psychotherapy research and the even more general problems of psychotherapy research.
This paper discusses research into group analysis as a clinical discipline, that is, as a mode of psychotherapy for disturbed individuals, leaving aside applied group analysis and group analysis as a method for gaining deeper insight into cultural and community dynamics.
