Editor’s Comment

Welcome to the July 2024 edition of GASi Contexts.

Thank you to everyone who sent in contributions.

A rich and broad range of articles and commentaries discussing many important aspects of our work: views on individual versus group psychotherapy; the use of speech in group analysis; the trauma of war; the spread of reflective citizens groups across Italy; the important Frankfurt Constellation and one persons experience of the conference on this topic; continuing thoughts about LGTBQ+ issues and some reflections on the Foulkes Lecture and Study Day. And not to forget our usual Art and Poetry Corner and Quantitive Easing column.

Very important news for your diary in 2025! The date for the Foulkes Lecture and Study Day has been changed to May 9/10 2025. We look forward to seeing many of you there.

Enjoy reading.
