Abstract
The large group can ideally be a transitional space between the public arena of an institution and the private intimacy of the individual. The large group conductor should be able to help the group to serve this purpose. This article briefly refers to some aspects of the common ground group analysis and psychoanalysis share. It is however not about the differences between the two. This article discusses the level of anxiety and the respective different transference levels in the large group. Several suggestions are made in order to help the group conductor in dealing with his own anxieties and those of the group in regard to these emotions. ‘Negative capability’ is seen as a prerequisite to a fully working group analytic large group. Reference is made in particular to institutional aspects of large groups.
