This report describes the links between group relations training, process consultancy, and psychoanalysis and relates these to the kinds of training which may be needed to develop consultation programs within an institution, specifically the Open University (OU) in England. A list of recommended readings and institutions which may provide training is also included. The following topics are discussed: object relations and a three-part relationship between authority, dependence, and learning; OU institutional openness and creativity; denial and exaggeration of differences; psychodynamic theory; staff development and training; training for consultancy; and aims for courses relevant to consultancy. Appendices provide a summary of training sessions from 1978 through 1982 in numbers of hours, and a list of examples of training courses and conferences. (47 references) (GLR)
