Fund Raising
We are only able to sustain the group analytic training programme in India, through fund raising here in the UK for several reasons.
First and foremost, the fees being charged to the Indian candidates, which although considerable from an Indian perspective, are unable to meet the costs of the programme.
Second, even if we were able to raise sufficient money in India through whatever means, the Indian Government prohibits the payment of foreign professionals, particularly by charities like HNI (the institution that is hosting our training in Bengaluru).
It is for this reason that we have to raise funds outside of India.
To this end we have started the charity Group Analysis India (Charity Number 1192636) , the function of which is to raise funds to pay the costs of teachers, supervisors and group therapists.
Many colleagues and well wishers have supported us through one-off or regular monthly donations - for which we are very grateful. However, there continues to be a considerable shortfall.
This event, and others like it, are in the service of this end.

June 15, 2024 Anup Dhar
While Freud was developing a particular contour of psychoanalysis in the West, another doctor-turned-analyst – Girindrasekhar Bose (1886-1953) – was developing the coordinates of A New Theory of Mental Life in India far away from the Western metropolis, . Bose was in conversation with Freud between 1921 and 1937, through a series of letters.
Bose repeatedly offered Freud a way to rethink the central and original tenets of psychoanalysis like repression, Oedipality, castration and the unconscious roots of gendering.
Meanwhile Freud repeatedly tried to reduce Bose’s re-theorization of psychoanalysis to a particularity and peculiarity of the Indian psyche.
In effect, Bose was offering Freud (and the West) an alternative to Freud’s An Outline of Psychoanalysis, this being An Indian outline of psychoanalysis Indian. In this endeavor Bose drew on resources not from Greek tragedy – but from a medieval form of spirituality called Sahajiya.
In this talk Anup Dhar puts Bose and Freud (and by default east and west, North and South, colonizer and colonized) in dialogue to work towards a spiritualized outline of psychoanalysis (and against a medicalized and religious one).
