Institute for Group Analysis “S.H. Foulkes”

(Athens – Greece)

The Institute of Group Analysis “S.H. Foulkes” (Athens), founded in June 2016, is dedicated to advancing scientific development, research, and training in Group-Analytic Psychotherapy.

IOAF aims to promote diverse applications of Group Analysis and Group-Analytic Psychotherapy across clinical, institutional, and organizational, settings.

We believe that the foundation of Group Analysis, pioneered by German psychoanalyst S.H. Foulkes (Sigmund Heinrich Fuchs as known in Germany), is rooted in Freud’s Psychoanalysis, Norbert Elias’s Sociology, and Kurt Goldstein’s Neurology.

Group Analysis

Group Analysis integrates further reference theories, such as Figurational Sociology, General Systems Theory, and more recent Psychoanalytic frameworks, including Object Relations and Intersubjectivity theories, as well as Neuroscience. It conceptualizes the intrapsychic, interpersonal, social, intersubjective, collective, and ultimately, the group as interconnected elements and aspects (or abstractions) of the broader human experience in which we are all embedded.
Drawing insights from Social Psychology, Group Dynamics, and Anthropology, Group Analysis views the human psyche as shaped by a multitude of conscious and unconscious, personal and collective elements. Mental health issues are regarded as disruptions in a person’s intricate network of internal and external communications. Through this lens, Group Analysis seeks to restore the individual’s relational balance by engaging the therapeutic potential of the group.
