The Institute of Group Analysis (IGA) celebrates forty years from its foundation with the publication of two new volumes tracing the foundations and applications of Group Analysis. The first volume ('Foundations') aims to publicise the foundations of group analysis (with the earliest papers of Foulkes) as well as the most influential theoretical contributions by pillars of modern group analysis, such as Pines, Brown, and Hopper. The reader will be able to see the development of Group Analysis, form an opinion about the trajectory that it follows, and judge which way the tradition of openness and creative integration of diverse theoretical contributions will lead in the twenty-first century. The second volume ('Applications') focuses on the numerous fields of work that use group analytic principles. Workers in the field of forensic psychotherapy would now consider it a great omission if they did not use some form of group analytic intervention, as would professionals dealing with those who manifest personality disorders, or those who work with different age groups, such as adolescents.

"The structure of the book is not according to a diagnosis but according to "presenting problem" or to the most prominent feature. Presenting problem in this context is the first impression that the doctors formed on either being referred the patient or on seeing them. Presenting problem is not meant to replace "diagnosis," which is important in a different context. Indeed some cases could be allocated to different diagnostic groups. The philosophy of this book is to present how a doctor is faced with a patient who is suffering in their own particular way and gradually, after a painstaking process, the clinician gets to develop a deeper understanding of their predicament. The doctor will try to make sense of the patient's present state in the context of their personal history, present family situation, intimate relationships, work situation, understanding of their future, and the cultural context (historical and contemporary) in which they live. The sections of this book do not correspond to any diagnostic category, although diagnoses are inevitably in the author's mind and are occasionally mentioned in the text"--

Group analysis has made significant contribution to organisational work, to feminism and anti-discrimination (including anti-racism) as well as in education.
