OFEK 30 Anniversary Jerusalem, September 8-9 2017 OFEK 30th Anniversary Jerusalem, September 8-9 2017 1 elPmaerP That our world is at a troublesome juncture is no news. We live in times of wars, massive migration, extreme social inequalities, religious extremism, the rise of authoritarianism and terrorism - to name some of the most obvious. Many of us are closer to the heat of events, others are farther away; but we are all affected. The media brings it all to our homes in vivid colors and real-time, making it less possible to deny. Can we better understand the present moment so as, perhaps, to learn to foresee and act, and not only to mourn in hindsight? OFEK devotes its 30th anniversary to the study of the in-depth processes that contribute to the Unstable World/s of our times. The Group Relations approach was developed in the 1950’s by the Tavistock Institute of Human Relations in London as a method of learning through experience about the nature of group, organizational and social dynamics: the exercise of authority and power, the interplay between tradition, innovation and change, and the relationship of organizations to their social, political, and economic environments. The GR approach assumes that the inner world and external reality are always interconnected in both conscious and unconscious ways, that the understanding of human behavior must include the exploration of the emotional factors operating at the individual and group level. This approach continues to evolve and develop. OFEK (Organization; Person; Group) grew out of this line of thinking and practice. In 1985, a small group of enthusiastic professional-cum-social activists initiated and founded OFEK, envisioning the development in Israel of an experiential learning methodology of group and organizational processes, both overt and covert, conscious and unconscious, and its dissemination for the benefit of Israeli society. Thirty years later, OFEK is a lively and vibrant organization with dozens of members in Israel and abroad. It is a success story and a leading organization in the Group Relations international network. stnevE During these two days, we will work in plenaries and various groupings. Each grouping will serve the overall Primary Task: Understanding currently pressing societal issues through a Group Relations perspective Plenaries The Opening Plenary will present the program for the two days and facilitate crossing the boundary into the event. Mira Erlich-Ginor and Daphna Bahat Review of the day: At the end of the first day and toward moving to the festivities we will have an opportunity to look at “what did we have.” Led by: Smadar Ashuach and Joab Kirsh The Closing Plenary at the end of the second day will provide an opportunity to look at the experience as a whole. Led by: Daphna Bahat and Mira Erlich-Ginor 2 Panels Panel I, Friday 9:30 It all started with some visionaries – from thought to action. With: Shmuel Erlich, Mira Erlich-Ginor, Yigal Ginat, Avi Nutkevitch, Jona Rosenfeld and Mannie Sher. Moderator: Miri Tsadok. The participants in the panel are the founders and enablers of the organization. The panel will be an opportunity to hear from the founders about critical moments in the founding of OFEK. The aim of the panel is to explore what can be learned from these moments about the DNA of the organization, and what can be learned about OFEK today and tomorrow. Panel II, Friday 11:30 Internal agents, external agents: Multiple subversive standpoints and views on Israeli Society. With: Yael Buchbinder-Shimoni, Tali Farkash, Ziva Mekonen Degu and Nagham Naseralla. Moderators: Ronit Kark and Hagit Shachar-Paraira. The participants in this panel are activists from diverse locales, different sectors of society, and of multiple identities. They will describe their activities and efforts to destabilize and challenge the status quo from their unique places and perspectives. The aim of the panel is to better understand the complex relationships between the different sub groups in Israeli society through the dialogue with these outstanding women, who strive to de-stabilize the existing social structures. Drawing on the group relations perspective, we will examine what facilitates and what holds back these women’s ability to act and to lead change and gain influence. Panel III, Saturday 11:30 Group Relations in Israel, OFEK in the network: A look from within and from without With: Eliat Aram, Gabi Bonwitt, Miriam Shapira, Dorothee von Tippelskirch-Eissing. Moderator: Shmuel Erlich. The aim of this panel is to review and examine OFEK’s influence and impact in promoting and fostering the Group Relations approach and application in Israel and its contribution beyond Israel. The panelists represent a cross section of people closely related to OFEK in various ways, as members, conference participants and staff, and involved in expanding and promoting GR in Israel and abroad. They will focus on their personal relatedness to OFEK, their perception and evaluation of it as a significant GR organization, its contributions and/or its flaws and deficiencies. The presentations will be followed by buzz groups and a plenary discussion with the audience. Buzz Groups Following the panels on Friday and Saturday there will be discussion in "buzz groups" with a small number of participants. The task of these groups will be to discuss the issues raised by the panels and to link it to the overall task of understanding societal issues through the Group Relations approach. Coordinator: Moshe Bergstein. Facilitators: Shmuel Bernstein, Boaz Gesthalter, Ada Mayer, Shely Sussman, Yael Shenhav Sharoni, Sivanie Shirani, Lionel Stapley. 3 3. Experiential Events a. Organizational Event: Israel World Event (IWE) The organizational event, which is named 'Israel World Event' (IWE), will be a space where we will be able to explore one of the themes of the conference in the spirit of the learning and ways of exploration that characterizes the Group Relations approach. The primary task of the 'Israel World Event' will be to explore from the experience in the 'here and now' of the event what Israel 'represents' for the world in conscious as well as unconscious layers, and in what way this 'representation' affects Israel as a country and as a society. We will work in small groups, hold inter-group meetings and end in a plenary that will collect the work done in the small groups and continue the work of exploring the topic. Directed by: Avi Nutkevitch. Facilitators: Louisa Brunner, Saliem Khliefi, Mannie Sher, Simi Talmi and Yossi Triest. b. Social Dreaming Social Dreaming is a method developed by Gordon Lawrence in England in the early 1980s. The Social Dreaming Matrix is a space in which participants are invited to tell recent dreams, dream fragments, thoughts, feelings, sensations, memories, symbols and ideas that arise as associations to the dreams. The emphasis is on the dream and not on the dreamer. We explore rather than interpret. The matrix is a space in which we try to tap into the unconscious life of the organization we are part of, and into the hidden “underground currents” that exist in the wider social context. The Primary Task of the Social Dreaming Matrix is: To tap the social and systemic unconscious life of the event as a whole, through dreams, dream fragments and associations. The Matrix will be hosted by Yigal Ginat, Ilana Litvin and Hanna Marder. There will be two matrices. 4. Anniversary Party When British culture and humor meet the Israeli culture and humor. The “critical event” that created OFEK. The aim of the event is to celebrate, share and enjoy. Led by: Michal Granot, Judy Levy, Yael Mass Mike Tepliz , Nadav Ovadia and friends.

  • Belgirate Vi
    BELGIRATE VI The Place where we Live: The space for Group Relations An international meeting for Group Relations Conferences practitioners 1 - 4 November 2018 Hotel Villa Carlotta Belgirate Lago Maggiore, Italy MEETING SPONSORS The A K Rice Institute OFEK – The Israeli Association for the for the Study of Social Systems Study of Group and Organizational Processes The Tavistock Institute of Human Relations Background: Since the first Leicester conference, which was pioneered by staff of the Tavistock Institute of Human Relations in 1957, Group Relations conferences have been understood as educational events which are based on learning through experience. Strategic and structural dynamics of organisations are studied and explored from a psychoanalytic-systemic perspective. The knowledge is acquired and then applied by working through the conscious and unconscious dynamics of leadership and management in groups, organisations and systems. The Leicester Conference has become the fundamental model for similar conferences held in many countries around the world. It has been adapted and modified over the years to be useful as a laboratory of reflection in various local contexts including the social, cultural, religious, spiritual, geographical and theoretical. Purpose of the Belgirate Meetings: Since 2003, the Belgirate meetings have become a meta-study hub where practitioners of Group Relations come together to share, explore and reflect upon the theory, practice, discourse and values of the Group Relations field and the changes that have taken place over time. The focus of Belgirate VI will be on context, ie on the relationship between our physical place we inhabit or co-create, and the psychic, inner or spiritual space we are part of.

  • Being in Berlin: a Large Group Experience in the Berlin Congress

Shmuel Erlich*, Mira Erlich-Ginor* and Hermann Beland** *Israel Psychoanalytic Society Midbar Sinai 42, 97805 Jerusalem, Israel – [email protected] **German Psychoanalytic Association ⁄ IPA (Final version accepted 19 November 2008) In July 2007, the International Psychoanalytic Congress convened for the first time since the war in the former Nazi capital, Berlin. An open large group forum was held at this meeting, where attendees (Jewish, German and others) had the opportunity to explore the emotional aspects stirred up by being in Berlin. Hun- dreds of people participated in the event and described it as the ‘heart of the Con- gress’. We examine several aspects of the event, including the passions stirred, the containment of the setting, and the voices present and absent. Keywords: anti-Semitism, experiential large group, Holocaust, reparation, trauma To my surprise I discovered that my hotel room happens to be above the bunker where Hitler committed suicide. Then came the thought: As an analyst, do I have to identify with Hitler? I had the sudden thought of having lived with a ‘Nazi mother’ all my life. My shame at the sight of the German flag – I only hope my daughter will be free of this burden. It hadn’t occurred to me for a single moment that I might say something. Then I thought that I come from a family that remained silent all the Nazi-years. The history of psychoanalysis, by virtue of its unique relationship with Sigmund Freud and the disproportionate ratio of Jews among its early and later adherents, was deeply scorched by the rise to power of Nazism and the per- petration of the Holocaust.

  • Terror Within and Without
    Chapter 101 The Psychoanalyst between Uncanny Reality and Factual Reality Freud's (1915c) effort to define transference-love ran into a major problem. His declared aim was to help the analyst, faced with intense transference phenomena, to continue to maintain his analytic posture, his self-imposed abstinence and interpretative position. In order to be able to keep his sights on the goals of the analytic process and the ultimate change in the patient, the analyst must not give in to the temptations offered by the transference, be they falling in love or venting his aggression. Freud's attempt to help the analyst maintain his analytic posture under the onslaught of infatuation and eroticized attraction rested on two essential premises: That the patient's love is unreal because it represents a resistance; and again, that the patient's love is unreal because it is a reenacted manifestation of infantile love. Freud thus warned the analyst that the phenomenon created, evolved and presented to him in the transference is essentially unreal, a creature of the treatment situation, and therefore must not be yielded to or participated in, but needs to be analyzed. Freud soon realized the inherent difficulties in this conceptualization: If transference love is unreal, can real-life love be said to be "real"? And if real love is subject to the same shortcomings as transference love (e.g., repetition of infantile wishes and patterns, and poor or compromised assessment of the love object) – how unreal is transference love? How can one distinguish between these two loves? Freud reluctantly admitted that real-life love and transference-love are at base not entirely different or easily distinguishable, and that he could not come up with a crucible 1 In: H.

  • Cips Winter 2021 Newsbriefs
    CIPS WINTER 2021 NEWSBRIEFS Letter from the Editor Dear CIPS Community, This letter attempts to orient you, dear Reader, to the variety contained in this issue. Here you will find examples of courage, inspiration, and creativity as well as be confronted with both bone chilling realities and healing ones. We begin, as usual, with letters from the CIPS President, Batya Monder, who both offers reflections and updates us on the recent accomplishments and upcoming events at CIPS. We then “meet” the CIPS President-elect, Maureen Murphy, and learn about her priorities for her upcoming tenure. This past February, NAPsaC welcomed its new president, Mary Kay O’Neil, who shares her vision with us as well. In the aftermath of the domestic terrorism at the Capitol on January 6, 2021, NewsBriefs invited the presidents of all the member societies to respond. Their letters are included here. Adriana Prengler, vice president-elect of the IPA, introduces us to the good work of The IPA’s committee on Psychoanalytic Emigration and Relocation (PERC). Adriana is the former chair of this committee. Many have described that as the pandemic and our physical isolation from each other and the world continues that it’s harder to think and harder to do. Reminders that others are out there too---living, loving and doing--is somehow a salve reminding us that better days are ahead. We are privileged again in this issue to hear from various members of our societies about matters deeply personal and important to them. There is quite a gamut: reflections on living in these uncertain times of the pandemic, on working the phones prior to the November election, on documenting the sadistic and dehumanizing realities of the US immigration detention centers, on being inspired by courage in the Warsaw ghetto to engage in the present struggles.
