Grossmark published many articles that integrate contemporary relational ideas with object relations as well as contemporary perspectives, from Psychoanalytic Gender Theory to relational approaches to Group Psychotherapy, presented in his last book "The One and the Many". Dr. Earl Hopper, psychoanalyst, is one of the eminent group analysts in the world, a follower of S.H. Foulkes, the founder of Group Analysis. Hopper, lectures and supervises in many programs for psychotherapy and psychoanalysis, has published many articles and books mainly on the subject of the "Social Unconscious", large groups, and the way the roots of pathology are rooted in society no less than in the soul of the individual. “Two Roads diverged in a wood, and --I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference” *Robert Frost Israeli Institute of Group Analysis | מכון ישראלי לאנליזה קבוצתית International Conference “The Road not Taken”* Dear Colleagues, As chairperson of the Israel Institute of Group Analysis I invite you to join us in exploring a unique way of thinking with regard to individual and group analytic therapy, one that is innovative, daring and creative. As therapists, we follow our patients and members of our therapy groups in their efforts to find new ways - small and large - to bring about change in their lives. You are welcome to join us for two days devoted to thinking about historical breakthroughs in our field that significantly influenced and changed the essence, principles and boundaries of psychoanalytic therapy and our ways of being helpful, as well as, "The Roads Not Taken" that are yet to come. Marit Joffe Milstein, Chair of Israeli Institute of Group Analysis (IIGA) WHAT TO EXPECT IN OUR CONFERENCE? The Israel Institute of Group Analysis is organizing a unique conference focusing on the clinical break-through process taken by people who dared to walk on the "Road not Taken," and by doing so, contributed to the evolution of the individual and group analytic therapy. We have invited two world-renowned lecturers known for their meaningful contribution to individual and group analysis; Dr. Earl Hopper and Dr. Robert Grossmark. They will be lecturing on Conscious and Unconscious, “break-through” processes, and its influence on our proffession. In addition, senior Israeli clinicians will be lecturing on various perspectives regarding "break- through" processes in therapy, with clinical examples from society, individual and group analytic therapy. These lectures will be followed by discussions in Median Groups conducted by members of the Israeli Institute of Group Analysis. The vision that guided us in this conference was to become for two days a "research community," in which we will take time to explore the roads paved (the controlling paradigms) for us by forerunner clinicians and theorists who dared to "break-through". We invite all the participants to relate their experiences with regards to the theme of the conference and to discuss their personal points of view with the lecturers and with other participants. There will be also special opportunity to experience and participate in Social Dreaming Matrix, the goal of which will be to explore the Social Unconscious of the participants and it's place in Israeli society. We look forward to seeing you and hope the conference will provoke interest, mutual enrichment, and enjoyment.
