Linde Wotton International Liaison

Linde Wotton is a retired group analyst who formerly worked in the NHS in London as a Specialty Doctor in Psychotherapy.
Although continuing to act as a dissertation supervisor for qualifying course students at the IGA in the UK, her main involvement is in the international group analytic community.
Until the autumn of 2023 she was, for 6 years, a member of the management committee of the Group Analytic Society International, chairing the scientific program committee, which is responsible for the Foulkes Lecture & Winter Workshops and running the Student Essay Competition, and co-chairing the scientific program committee for the GASi Sympopsia.
She continues to chair the International Courses Committee at the IGA (UK), which supports the development of GA trainings in countries where none exist. Joining the EGATIN committee was therefore a natural development.
