The Institute of Group Analysis of Athens (I.O.A.A.) was officially founded in 1982, following the same legal form as the Open Psychotherapy Center, namely that of a civic non-profit organization. Training activities had preceded even the establishment of the Center, in 1980. We considered – and still do today – the correct and comprehensive training of the staff as a necessary prerequisite for the implementation of the psychotherapeutic work.<\/p>\n
The main purpose of the IOAA is group-analytic training, both for the Center’s staff initially, and for all mental health professionals who wish to be trained in Group Analysis. Over the years, in addition to the Training of Group Psychoanalysts, the IOAA also includes the newer Institutes (with the corresponding training), those of Psychological Assessment, Psychodrama-Social Therapy and Family Therapy.<\/p>\n
To this day, the two organizations – one therapeutic (A.P.K.) and the other educational (IOAA) – are housed in the same space and collaborate closely, exchanging ideas, knowledge and experience, while maintaining their administrative and operational autonomy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
