Group Analytic Identity

The Conference Programme includes plenary lectures, poster presentations and discussion.

Professional identity of group analysts is the basic element that unites professionals in a professional space. It becomes formated in the process of group analytic training through mastering in group-analytic theory (including the theory of psychoanalysis and sociological approach) in application to the own professional activity. Issues of formation of the identity are important for the development and for the promotion of group analysis as an original method among the others in the domain of psychodynamic group psychotherapy.

The Conference aims are to increase understanding of identity of a group analyst, to support contacts and to deeper the handshaking collaboration between group analysts in Russia and in other countries, mutual enrichment and development of theoretical and practical knowledge in group analysis per se, and in applied group analysis. We would be glad to see our colleagues group analysts from all over the world in St. Petersburg, to hear about their work and to share with them our own experience.
