Demonstration groups, a major modality for observing group process, have not been addressed in the group psychotherapy literature. This article defines the demonstration group and describes and discusses its various components: the volunteers (group members) and their recruitment, the demonstration group itself, group member debriefing, and the didactic component. Discussion of the physical setting, group agreements, and boundary considerations, as well as leadership tasks, challenges, and pitfalls are illustrated with examples. Leadership tasks in demonstration groups are compared with those in therapy groups. Guidelines that are likely to promote successful demonstration group experiences are provided. The leader's facility with the unconscious defense mechanism of projective identification is stressed.
示范小组作为观察小组过程的一种主要形式，在团体心理治疗文献中尚未得到探讨。本文对示范小组进行了定义，并描述和讨论了其各个组成部分：志愿者（小组成员）及其招募、示范小组本身、小组成员汇报以及教学组成部分。文中通过实例说明了对物理环境、小组协议和边界考虑因素的讨论，以及领导任务、挑战和陷阱。将示范小组中的领导任务与治疗小组中的领导任务进行了比较。提供了可能促进成功的示范小组体验的指导方针。强调了领导者对投射性认同这种无意识防御机制的运用能力。
