A Special Interest Group led by Val Parker, author of:
A Group Analytic Exploration of the Sibling Matrix: How Siblings Shape our Lives (Routledge, 2019)
We will be having a preliminary meeting on Friday May 28th at 18:30h (UK time)
The sibling matrix has been curiously overlooked in both psychoanalysis and group analysis, and this is an opportunity for us to explore the impact of siblings on all aspects of our lives, on our work with groups and individuals, on organizational and community life and on the social unconscious.
As group analysts, it is vital for us to embrace this important topic. I hope this forum will help us to develop our thinking as a body of ‘group-analytic siblings’, extending our ideas into topics such as race, identity, culture, and politics so that together we can stimulate a wider awareness of siblings in the world of therapy and beyond.
I suggest that we arrange a preliminary Zoom meeting in May to plan how we proceed and discuss which areas of interest we would like to pursue.
I very much look forward to exploring this fascinating subject with you.
