This workshop aims to provide an exciting new outlook on attachment and developmental group analysis.

Human development is complex and multidimensional. Early developmentalists tended to focus on infancy, childhood and adolescence, largely to the exclusion of other periods in the life span. Over time, a more comprehensive perspective evolved. It is now widely accepted that growth and change, gains and losses can occur throughout the entire life cycle. As we grow older, certain capabilities become more sophisticated, whilst others decline which may contain loss.

The speakers shall attempt to involve you in a captivating journey through personal development and group lives, including interpersonal and group attachment, from infancy all the way into old age. They will amalgamate relevant research findings on life-span psychosocial and peer group development, and on group psychotherapy with different age groups. They will also argue that personal identity and development are intrinsic to the group process, reflected in it and enhanced by it.
