Special Issue of Contexts – Summer 2021: Group Analysis in Spanish, Group analysis in Spain
Guest Co-editors: Maria-José Blanco and Luis Palacios
Contexts is the Group Analytic Society international (GASi) online newsletter edited by Peter Zelaskowski. It has an inclusive character, and it is open to creative and innovative proposals. The copyright of all articles published belongs to the authors.
We invite articles in both Spanish and English for the special issue of Contexts which will be published online in the Summer of 2021. We are interested in both Group Analysis in Spanish and Group Analysis in Spain. We would like to look at different aspects of Group Analysis in general terms, group analysis and other types of group therapy and in relation to the collaboration between GASi (Group Analytic Society international) and SEPTG (Sociedad Española de Psicoterapia y Técnicas de Grupo) in the organization of the 2020 Symposium which was going to take place in Barcelona and which became the 1st GASi Online Symposium.
Some of the themes we would like to include are:
Group Analysis in Spain:
-The beginnings of group analysis in Spain
-Group analytic trainings
-Group Therapy in Spain. Group Analysis and other orientations (psychodrama, humanist, bioenergetic, gestalt, multifamily groups …)
Group Analysis in Spanish
– Group Analysis in Latin-America
– Working as a Spanish speaking group analyst in the wider world
Bi-lingual group analysis
-Working in two or more languages
1st GASi Online Symposium
-Organization: personal reflections on organising an international symposium and the first collaboration between GASi and SEPTG
-Participation: personal reflections on how it was to participate in a tri-lingual symposium
The articles can be between 500 and 5000 words
They can range from the personal to the academic or clinical.
All articles need to be sent in both Spanish and English.
The deadline for sending articles is 30th March 2021
We hope this project will initiate a process of showing the character of the work done in the Hispanic Group-Analytic world and that it will be the start of many more collaborations.
