Joanna Skowrońska
I am a training group analyst, supervisor, and teacher at the Institute of Group Analysis „Rasztów”, Warsaw. I run small analytic groups in private practice and staff support groups for health institutions as well as individual and family psychotherapy. I am interested in factors shaping relationships in group analytic psychotherapy and the applicability of groups in a different context. I published on this in Polish and English. For example: The psychotherapists’ relationship with their own siblings as a factor shaping the therapeutic relationship in Maciejewska et all (ed.) (2014) Siblings, Envy and Rivalry, Coexistence and Concern, Karnac; “What happens when you cut a worm?” – Group members as Peers in Ashuach S.; Berman A.: (2022) Sibling Relations and the Horizontal Axis in Theory and Practice Contemporary Group Analysis, Psychoanalysis and Organization Consultancy, Routledge
