The family and couple setting requires a radical transformation of the quality and breadth of our listening, which is addressed to a patient made up of several subjects but at the same time unitary. It is a matter of being able to oscillate between individual, cou-ple and group psychic functioning, all always co-present, with a focus on an uncon-scious that is no longer individual, but heterotopic or ectopic. The training process is hinged on the tripod of personal psychoanalysis, theoretical-clinical seminars and super-vision, in which the clinical case discussion in group is fundamental, as it allows the stu-dent to experience, dealing with a plurisubjective clinic, a field in which there are not only several minds at work, but also a groupal mind, thus creating an experiential situa-tion analogous to the personal analysis carried out to become an analyst, but of a groupal nature.

Keywords: groupal mind, listening, pluri-subjectivity, setting extension.
