Online Introductory Course In The Theory And Practice Of Group Analysis

30 evenings starting on the second Monday in October

Please note: The course will run exclusively online using the Zoom video conferencing platform which means the course is accessible to any resident of the UK who has use of a reliable internet connection. Instructions will be sent out detailing how to join the seminars and groups and will include some guidelines for online course participation.

Group Analysis South West’s (GASW) Online Introductory Course in Groupwork provides a comprehensive introduction to group analytic theory over three terms through a series of seminars, lectures, and experiential groups. Throughout the three terms of the course you will be a member with other course participants of the same Experiential Group. In the first two terms the Experiential Group will take place after the seminar or lecture and in the third term after the Median Group experience.

The Experiential Group will be conducted by an experienced group analyst and will determine its’ own therapeutic level and goals. The group provides containment and support in addition to facilitating learning about yourself and groups, through the practical experience of being part of a group. 

The Median Group will be conducted by an experienced group analyst and will include all current course participants, as well as some from previous years of the Introductory Course.

The seminars and lectures facilitate understanding of dynamic processes that occur in groups including the experiential group. Learning occurs partly through linking the experience of being a member of the experiential group and the seminars. The seminars are run by group analysts and participants are expected to introduce at least one of the papers discussed in the seminars.
