COIRAG is a confederate of different associations: one of its activities is to train doctors in psychology as group-therapists. Every year about 400 students, divided into 7 institutes attend this school. In 2001 a group of students of the institute of Milan decided to start a research project looking at the quality of the training itself. At the beginning, our aim was to highlight negative variables that, in our view, were affecting the training: after a while, we started to spend more time analysing our group dynamics and institutional dynamics as well. We decided to work inside the organisation and we found support in some of our teachers and in the COIRAG Study Center. In this way it was possible to set up a project that has been developed along 4 years. The methodology has been quali- quantitative, including inventories, focus groups and large groups. Two different questionnaire were administered to the students: one at the end of every course and one at the end of every year. 6-points Likert scale were used to allow parametric analysis, while open questions were analysed using textual analysis software such as Atlas-t and SPAD. Each year an average of 350 questionnaires have been collected. A discussion concerning the methodology used, our research group dynamics, and institutional dynamics is presented trying to focus on which variables might be important in evaluating a group-analytic training. The possibility to combine perspectives that comes from different “world” is also taken into account : is an evaluation planned and carried on by students different from one organised by teachers? And how is it possible to integrate these data? Some of the authors of this presentation are students, others are teachers and we will try to give some answer to these questions.
