International Conference
“The Road not Taken”*
Dear Colleagues,
As chairperson of the Israel Institute of Group Analysis I invite you to join us in exploring
a unique way of thinking with regard to individual and group analytic therapy, one that is
innovative, daring and creative. As therapists, we follow our patients and members of our
therapy groups in their efforts to ﬁnd new ways - small and large - to bring about change
in their lives. You are welcome to join us for two days devoted to thinking about historical
breakthroughs in our ﬁeld that signiﬁcantly inﬂuenced and changed the essence,
principles and boundaries of psychoanalytic therapy and our ways of being helpful,
as well as, "The Roads Not Taken" that are yet to come.
Marit Joffe Milstein,
Chair of Israeli Institute of Group Analysis (IIGA)
WHAT TO EXPECT IN OUR CONFERENCE?
The Israel Institute of Group Analysis is organizing a unique conference focusing on the clinical
break-through process taken by people who dared to walk on the "Road not Taken," and
by doing so, contributed to the evolution of the individual and group analytic therapy.
We have invited two world-renowned lecturers known for their meaningful contribution to
individual and group analysis; Dr. Earl Hopper and Dr. Robert Grossmark. They will be lecturing
on Conscious and Unconscious, “break-through” processes, and its inﬂuence on our proffession.
In addition, senior Israeli clinicians will be lecturing on various perspectives regarding
"break- through" processes in therapy, with clinical examples from society, individual and group
analytic therapy. These lectures will be followed by discussions in Median Groups conducted by
members of the Israeli Institute of Group Analysis.
The vision that guided us in this conference was to become for two days a "research community,"
in which we will take time to explore the roads paved (the controlling paradigms) for us by
forerunner clinicians and theorists who dared to "break-through".
We invite all the participants to relate their experiences with regards to the theme of the
conference and to discuss their personal points of view with the lecturers and with other
participants. There will be also special opportunity to experience and participate in Social
Dreaming Matrix, the goal of which will be to explore the Social Unconscious of the participants
and it's place in Israeli society.
We look forward to seeing you and hope the conference will provoke interest, mutual
enrichment, and enjoyment.
