%X This article aims at pinpointing some aspects of group analysis, especially in relationship to psychoanalysis, as they have emerged and developed in the context of Greek group-analytic (and psychoanalytic) institutions. Group analysis in our country has been trapped and rigidified either as a ¡®therapeutic-community-oriented¡¯, anti-psychoanalytic polemic or as a ¡®psychoanalytically-informed-group-work¡¯ project, applied in institutional settings and attributing secondary importance to group matrix. This situation has been amplified by the prevailing psychoanalytic institutions¡¯ tendency (in opposition to Freud¡¯s legacy) to minimize the social origins of the unconscious processes. In our current Greek context, the Institute of Group Analysis ¡®S.H. Foulkes¡¯, has as its core aim a healing return to the original, integrative Foulkesian vision: A search for integration of contemporary psychoanalytic developments and the legacy of group analysis
