- This paper gives a brief historic overview of IAGP. When the first International Congress of Group Psychotherapy was held in Toronto, Canada, in 1954, J L Moreno initiated the formation of the International Committee of Group Psychotherapy whose name was later changed to the International Council of Group Psychotherapy. At the fifth International Congress of Group Psychotherapy held in Zurich, Switzerland, in 1973, the name was again changed and the International Association of Group Psychotherapy (IAGP) was born. Approximately every third year since that time an International Congress has taken place at different cities around the world. At the Board Meeting during the sixteenth International Congress held in Sao Paulo, Brazil in 2007, it was decided to change the name to the International Association for Group Psychotherapy and Group Processes to reflect the larger interests of members. It will be under this name that the seventeenth International Congress will be held in Rome. In addition to the major International Congresses, Pacific Rim Regional Congresses and Regional Mediterranean Congresses have also been successfully organised, always attracting large numbers of participants. Since 1973 a number of subgroups have been formed for the different branches of Group Psychotherapy. The development of IAPG has been possible only because of the commitment of Board members and volunteers.

Present Text

- This is the first published article of Pichon-Rivičre in English known to his estate. It is the product of a joint effort of the Latin-American Federation for Analytical Group Psychotherapy (FLAPAG) and FORUM - Journal of the International Association for Group Psychotherapy and Group Processes to make Pichon-Rivičre's work better known to the English speaking community. The present text is the transcription of a class originally given by Dr. Enrique Pichon-Rivičre on 13 May 1970. It was first published by Temas de Psicologia Social, year 4, number 3, September 1980 and later incorporated into the second edition of ‘El Processo Grupal' Ediciones Nueva Visión, Buenos Aires, 1985. It is published here with the authorization of the Pichon-Rivičre family whom we thank deeply. Translated by Pablo de Carvalho Godoy Castanho (FLAPAG) and Teresa von Sommaruga Howard (FORUM) from the Spanish original collated against the French translation by Daničle Faugeras.

The Subject

The recommendations were—“That a work should be published, in which should be given the history, and an analytical and comparative table, of the different systems of weights, measures, and coins of the different nations of the earth, to be translated and published, under the supervision of the branch societies, in all the languages of the nations represented in the Association. 2. That, to ensure the accuracy of such a work, the branch societies should furnish information as to the monies, weights, and measures prevalent in each country, with their values in terms of the Metrical System. 3. That each branch society should use every means, especially by aid of the press, to enlighten public opinion on the subject, and to prepare for the meeting of an official International Congress for discussion thereon. 4. That, in the meantime, the branch societies should make every effort to procure that, in all statistical tables and documents, public and private, the different quantities and values should be accompanied by their reduction into the monies, weights, and measures of the Metrical System, so that all nations may have a common medium of comparison. And 5. That unity in the fineness of the coin, unity in the standard of value, and unity in weights and measures of all kinds, should be pursued, in order to facilitate the adoption of a uniform system.”
