We are planning new live groups and webinars, all hosted in private Zoom spaces through our Community Site. Many of them are free, and will welcome new members.
You don’t need to be a member of APPCIOS to join these groups - you just need to join our community of Psychodynamic Thinkers.
Read on, or press this link to see what’s available.
Join one of our regular free groups!
• Our Weekend Psychosymposium
We hold a Psychodynamic Symposium every weekend where members of this Site can meet for live discussions.
This is an open group, and you won’t need to commit to regular attendance. We alternate meetings between Saturdays and Sundays, from 4.00 to 5.30pm.
Go here to find out more, and send us an email to let us know if you want to attend. We’ll give you a membership that allows you to join whenever you’re free.
• Understanding Race from a Psychodynamic Perspective
Trudy Darien and Devika Dhar are starting a new series of six discussion groups.
Everyone is welcome. You can find out more here - or go here to join the group.
They will also be meeting with participants of their first series, to continue their discussions. And - to coincide with Black History month, they are launching a formal webinar on the Psychoanalytic Understanding of Race.

This group meets on alternate Thursdays at 5.30pm to explore the transition to screen communication and its impact, both socially and professionally.

• Social work and social care
Phil Faulkner and Andy Davies are creating a forum for professionals working in social work and social care.

• Thinking internationally
Harriet Calvert and Katrina Horrox are planning a space to think about how the Pandemic is experienced in different countries and cultures. If you’re interested in joining them, send them an email here.
• Encouraging new authors
So many of you have years of in-depth experience and a wealth of interesting ideas: we want you to write them down so that we can publish them on the Site. We’ll be hosting a live group every month where you can post draft papers and articles, and get the help of experienced editors and the comments and suggestions of friendly colleagues. Go here for more details.
And do consider becoming a member of APPCIOS.
It’s easy and doesn’t cost much.
Go here to find out more.
And as ever . . .
• If you’re having difficulties accessing the Site, take a look at our instructions here. And if you would like a personal guided tour, we can arrange that, too. Just email us here.
• And please keep posting comments (it’s really not hard to do) and join our ongoing conversations.
If you want to make suggestions, offer your support or ask us a question, you can always reach us at admin@appcios.info
Membership of the Site is free, but it does cost money to maintain it. So if you’d like to make a donation, please do: just go here.

Team APPCIOS.
