Dear EGATIN members and friends,

On behalf of the EGATIN Committee, we would like to express our condolences and solidarity to our members and those who may have lost family, friends and loved ones.

GASi Student Essay Competition 2023
FOR STUDENTS
11/01/2023

The sixth GASI student essay competition will be held in 2023 with a prize of £600 from Sage, publishers of Group Analysis. The winning paper will be published in the journal. Closing date for entries: 30th September 2023

Students in group analytic psychotherapy training are invited to submit an unpublished original paper integrating theoretical material with clinical issues, paying attention to confidentiality and consent to publication.

An international panel of group analysts will judge the papers. The reading panel includes: Professor Elizabeth Rohr from Germany, Ivan Urlic from Croatia, Goran Ahlin from Sweden, Yael Doron from Israel and Val Parker from the UK.

As Group Analysis is an English language journal the final publication must be in English. However, in order to encourage wider participation in the competition, funds will be made available from GASIF for professional translation should an essay in a language other than English be selected as the winning entry. Students writing in another language should also submit a Deep L translated English version at the same time.

Full guidelines are available at:

Come and bring whatever you like, concerns, challenges, visions, dreams... a cup of coffee. This world is crazy but we are in it together.
In case you want to join us for the first time - we look forward to having you amongst us! 
Have a good week and see you on Saturday!

Focused Group Analytic Psychotherapy by Steinar Lorentzen
BOOKS
23/06/2022

Focused Group Analytic Psychotherapy. An Integration of Clinical Experience and Research

Steinar Lorentzen, University of Oslo, Norway

This practical text lays out a new form of focused, time- limited group analytic psychotherapy, built on new and existing research, and integrating clinical experience from across the field. 

Presented in three parts, Focused Group Analytic Psychotherapy clearly introduces the therapeutic approach, fully explores all the elements involved, from considering suitable patients to composing the group and the role of the therapist, and provides an in-depth examination of clinical quality assurance, research and the integration of supervision. Peppered with examples and vignettes from carefully designed research by the author and others, the chapters demonstrate how this approach can be used in group therapy with patients facing specific psychological problems, symptomatic distress and/or a problematic relationship to self or others.

If you are a student at a group analytic institute with a link to EGATIN, please feel free to join us! Just write an email to egatin.students@gmail.com, mention briefly your institute and you are in. We are happy to have you!
