3rd Group Analytic Society International Summer School in Group Analysis

13th - 17th July 2016Athens, Greece

Growth in Groups:

The creative potential of polyphony




As President of GASi, I have been involved from the beginning in the conception and life of the GASi Summer School. It is a great pleasure to be able to invite you to attend the third of our school​s​.

We organi​s​ed an international meeting place, mainly but not only for our younger group analysts in which open communication and respect mix with curiosity.

During 4 days participants from different countries, schools and backgrounds will be encouraged to participate in this spirit. I urge you to consider joining us, in Athens, in July.

Robi Friedman
GASi President



Dear friends,

It is a great pleasure and honour to announce the 3rd GASI Summer School which will be held in Athens and will be co-organized by the Group Analytic Society International (GASI) and the Institute of Group Analysis Athens (I.G.A.A.).

As president of I.G.A.A. I would like to welcome all greek and foreign colleagues who will participate in this significant Group-Analytic scientific event, and to encourage all of you to confirm through your active and various participation the polyphony and pluralism of the groups.

So, on behalf of I.G.A.A., I warmly invite you to join us and I look forward to welcoming you in our premises.

Ioannis K. Tsegos, MD
President of IGAA




Dear trainees and colleagues,
On behalf of the organizing committee we would like to invite you to participate in the 3rd Summer School of GASI, next July in Athens.

We hope that we will continue the successful tradition of the two previous "Summer Schools", and that we will create an interesting and joyful meeting. We also hope that this Summer School through polyphony will provide to all participants, both trainers and trainees, an opportunity for growth and a stimulus for continuing personal and professional development.

We look forward to welcoming you all in Athens.

About event

This is the third summer school intended both for those who are new to group analysis and for those who want to extend their awareness of the possibilities of the group analytic encounter.

In this year’s school we explore how the individual’s voice emerges out of the play of many voices - how we learn to hear ourselves, amongst all the different contributions arising in groups that are devoted to a process of development and exchange.

Over four days, students from many countries will work together with an international staff team, in small groups, lecture groups, supervision and large groups, to develop the school theme.

Summer Schools

The earlier schools, in Belgrade and in Prague, proved to be very satisfying and rewarding experiences for those who were involved. We expect the school to grow this time and we look forward to welcoming new participants who will join those who ​may ​be returning for further explorations.
