The Basic idea

The Summer Academy establishes for the tenth time a professional link between theory and practice of the important approaches of group psychotherapy and group work at an international level.

The academy is recognized under the auspices of the International
Association of Group Psychotherapy and Group Processes (IAGP) . Besides the academy is based on a network cooperation between the DAGG (organization for group psychotherapy and group work in Germany), Italian (COIRAG), Spanish (AEP), Portuguese (SPP) and Austrian (ÖAGG) group associations. Three models of group psychotherapy will meet again in Granada: group analysis,
psychodrama and group dynamic. We will offer grants for students from Palestina, Israel, Marrocco and other countries.

Dialogue is the key term for peace processes at a global level. Thus
the summer academy is destinated to create a living learning field for
the quality, but also for the breaking points of multicultural dialogue.
It will focus especially this year different models and strategies for
mediating and resolving conflicts between and in groups
Granada as historic model demonstrates the chances of a peaceful coexistence between different cultures, but also its menaces and its fragility. The academy as the essence of a shared culture of the group is putting the ” tyranny of differences” of language, approach or culture into question.
