2. Thor Kristian Island, MD. “Basic Group Analytic Principles, A case  presentation” 

Background:
IGAP was founded by S.H. Foulkes and J Moreno, both being  pioneers in working with groups and group psychotherapy. The two modalities  are both based on the psychoanalytic understanding of the mind and uses group  dynamics. However the Methodology is quite different. In Group Analysis the  therapist is more non-directive, facilitating reflection and is using the group as  such more actively in a shift between figure (the individual) and ground (the  group). In Psychodrama the therapist is more directive and the method more  expressive using the group as a background. 

Purpose of the webinar:
To present the basic theory and principles of Group Analysis and through a case presentation illustrate some main clinical points 

Articulation of the webinar:
The webinar will consist of two presentation –  followed by a discussion between the presenters and a Q and A with the audience
