Dear Friends and Colleagues,
We would like to warmly welcome you to the 3rd International Workshop of the Israeli Institute of Group Analysis. Participating in groups in this magnificent, scenic region has been a source of continuous pleasure and enrichment over the years. We will once again enjoy Kibbutz Gonen's comfortable facilities, with Mt. Hermon in the north and the Upper Galillee sprawling at its slopes. Nearby is a unique nature preserve, home to thousands of migrating cranes and other birds flying South and North above. Contact with this wonderful nature reserve will help us come into greater contact with ourselves and with each other. During the three days of our workshop we will explore the mutual contribution of groups and their individual members. We will try through these experiences to understand what facilitates growth and change in people and in groups and what inhibits them. We will look at the relationships between inside and outside: between groups and their social environment, between individuals and groups and at the nature of exchanges between them. You are invited to join in the processes of reflection and interpersonal exchange. The concept of participation in interpersonal space is one in which reciprocal influences promote processes of change. It is a process that relates to individual and group growth and development. and the transpersonal, relational interchange. The existence of and focus on relational interchange often makes for the difference between the Group Analysis approach, which promotes therapy “through the group”, and other group therapy approaches. We are united in our fascination with conducting therapy through the Group Analytic approach. We will make space for the giving and taking of a healthy interpersonal dynamic among us. The small groups, the large groups and the lectures are all parts of a setting carefully designed to facilitate our development and the satisfaction of our curiosity about, and passion for, groups. There will also be possibilities to tour the area’s special sites, participate in many informal social meetings and enjoy a final party. We look forward to meeting you, Co-Chairs of the Workshop Marit Joffee Milstein Robi Friedman Co-Chairs of the Scientific Committee Ido Peleg Uri Levin |
