Models for training in Developing Groups: importing the traditional into unfamiliar cultures.

The paper's central focus is on the usefulness or not of taking established and well-tried and tested models of training into cultures with different social, political and clinical attitudes. Beginning with the author's description of necessary changes introduced to ensure the revival of her own institute, the Society of Analytical Psychology, the author goes on to explore issues relevant to different aspects of training in countries where the IAAP runs its own training, known as the 'Router Programmes'. Here, analysts, teachers and supervisors visiting other cultures to offer their expertise may experience clashes in their views about the nature of the analytic attitude, not only with those they train but also amongst themselves.
