INTRODUCTION The International Association for Group Psychotherapy and Group Processes (IAGP) is a network of professionals involved in the development of group psychotherapy and group processes in the areas of theory, clinical practice, training, education, research and consultancy. Our network provides opportunities for meeting the others: professions, theories and cultures - who are exploring the applications of small, median and large group processes in clinical, organizational and political settings. These meetings have great potential for furthering international cooperation on training, research, clinical work and consultancy in a multicultural society. On 12th August, 2003, the IAGP was incorporated in Switzerland, and on 10th October, 2003, it was granted the status of a Swiss tax-exempt charity (Reg. no. 409/2003). To find out more about the IAGP's history, please see the paper by Anne Schutzenberger, our Honorary Archivist, which appeared in an edition of our journal, Forum. (This past edition of Forum is available in electronic format. A more recent history of the IAGP will be available soon.) In June 2006, the members voted to change the name of the IAGP from 'The International Association of Group Psychotherapy' to 'The International Association for Group Psychotherapy and Group Processes.' This was done to reflect the expansion of our members' interests. Despite the name change, the acronym 'IAGP' will remain the same.
