INTRODUCTION
The International Association for Group Psychotherapy and
Group Processes (IAGP) is
a network of professionals involved in the development of
group psychotherapy in the areas of theory, clinical practice,
training, research and consultancy. Our network provides
opportunities for meeting the others: professions, theories
and cultures - who are exploring the applications of
small, median and large group processes in clinical,
organizational and political settings. These meetings have
great potential for furthering international cooperation on
training, research, clinical work and consultancy in a
multicultural society. On 12th August, 2003, the IAGP was
incorporated in Switzerland, and on 10th October, 2003, it was
granted the status of a Swiss tax-exempt charity (Reg. no.
409/2003). To find out more about
the IAGP's history, please see the paper by Anne
Schutzenberger, our Honorary Archivist, which appeared in a
recent edition of our journal, Forum.
(This edition of Forum is available in electronic format.)
In June 2006, the members voted to change
the name of the IAGP from 'The International Association
of Group Psychotherapy' to 'The
International Association for Group Psychotherapy and Group
Processes.' This was done to reflect an effort to be
inclusive. Despite the name change, the acronym 'IAGP' will
remain the same.
You can view and
download the IAGP's Constitution and By-Laws
(last revised in July 2006).
A copy of our latest
brochure (last updated in January, 2007) can be obtained in
electronic format here.
