Traditionally, at group analytic meetings, symposia and conferences the daily Large Group (LG) has been an integral part of the program. While the small group to some extent reflects the family, dealing  with the dynamic unconscious of the individual and the group, the social unconscious in LGs pertains to wider mostly unconscious aspects of society, as carried by the individuals within it.

Thus, the social unconscious emerges through stories, myths, fantasies, dreams, anxieties and metaphors shared by individuals, which can be understood, through the skilled facilitation of the group conductor, as expressions of something beyond a specific person or group, signalling unconscious layers of the society, culture and organization of which we are a part. In this workshop we will discuss the group analytic large group in different contexts, the different purposes of the large groups and how to achieve them, and not least, the role of the conductor to reach these goals.
