The course is intended for people who are interested and involved in groups. The opportunity to explore an analytic approach to the dynamics of groups will occur through the theoretical sessions and as a living experience in a small group, which will meet weekly throughout the course, and will be conducted according to group analytic principles.
Group Analysis is a way of understanding group processes in small or large groups.
As a method of psychotherapy in which it is possible to mirror the context of a person’s life, it has roots in psychoanalysis, sociology and systems theory. It is concerned with the reciprocal relationship between a person and the many groups of which they may be a part. Through it we can explore what bearing the public and private, outer and inner aspects of our life have on one another, and the dialectic between group and personal development.
Lecturers and group conductors are Members of The Institute of Group Analysis and drawn from a range of distinguished experts in their fields.
