The pandemic and the effort to deal with it continues. Along with it, the effort to continue its life and its actions by incorporating the new conditions. In the second bulletin we cannot but include them. The continuation of the group analysis through web links is a new necessary condition for its work not to be interrupted. It raises concerns and is studied, as Sophia Maria Moraitou presents us in her paper “Groups on the Internet”.

Burnout, especially today in the specific external conditions and in general in jobs that require repeated exposure to emotionally charged interpersonal relationships, requires a specialised approach. Costas Konstantopoulos in his presentation “Clinical supervision as a means of preventing burnout” analyses the concept of burnout, the ways of dealing with it and the supporting role of clinical supervision.

Attacks in life exist in many manifestations. It also applies to analytical groups. Martina Britsa with her presentation “Anti-group – Intra-group aggression and its creative potential from antiquity to the present day” develops the concept of anti-group and how understanding this phenomenon with its destructive potentials can, instead of breaking us down, strengthen us.

Ultimately, according to Foulkes, we all belong to a fundamental matrix and evolve in a dynamic matrix, a concept whose function in group analysis is presented by Marianna Spiliotaki in her educational paper “The Matrix in Group Analysis”. And finally, we must not forget that there is no individual without a group and no group without individuals.The individual is shaped by the social and at the same time co-shapes the social, as presented by Amalia Stamataki, Lena Teliani and Kostas Konstantopoulos in their group work “Group Analysis: a historical review”, which introduces us to the creation and the therapeutic mode of operation of group analysis.

Art has always been a means of transubstantiation, catharsis, entertainment, and education, as well as an object for analysis. Nikos Lamnidis in his article “Noir, Psychoanalysis and Group Analysis: The Case of Dashiell Hammett” analyses, through the work of Dashiell Hammett, how Noir meets psychoanalysis and group analysis.

And the Introductory Seminar offers us the online attendance of two important open contributions
