Abstract
Mirror phenomena occur in supervision groups and Balint groups as much as in therapy groups (Behr et al., 1982; Brown, 1988; Zinkin, 1983). They help towards a better understanding of what is revealed verbally in groups and of what takes place on the various unconscious levels of the group process. In addition to direct mirror phenomena, which reflect the unconscious relationship between patient and reporter, there are alienating processes of unresolved conflicts which may be called indirect or `reversed' mirror phenomena. It is necessary to distinguish between the two types of mirror phenomena, since indirect or `reversed' mirror phenomena often interfere with the main goal of the supervision group, namely the understanding of the relationship under supervision.
