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.

Intimacy in Alienation:
A Psychoanalytic Study of Hindu-Muslim Relations
Fund Raising Zoom Lectures
Abstract:
In India, Hindu-Muslim relationships have had a history of togetherness and conflict over centuries. This talk explores the delicate relationship of the two communities and that of the intimate Hindu-Muslim couple. Exploring the psychological interiority of the couple causes us to rethink the social and cultural phenomena of otherness, identity and desire. In the unconscious reside the unspoken conflicts that exist between the two communities. What keeps a couple going, and is love enough? The couple must explore the meanings to give thier identity, with or without religion. These themes will be illustrated through a psychobiography that unravels identity and desire in interfaith relationships.
Ashis Roy , PhD, is a psychoanalyst at the Delhi Chapter of the Indian Psychoanalytic Society. He works with adults and couples. For more than a decade he was faculty at the Centre of Psychotherapy and Clinical Research, Ambedkar University and is faculty at CAPA (China-American Psychoanalytic Alliance). He has an interest in clinical and cultural psychoanalysis and likes to participate in thinking spaces where different schoo of psychoanalysis can dialogue with each other; he is interested in exploring Asian and South Asian cultures using psychoanalysis.
He hosts podcasts on the New Books Network.
He recently published the book Intimate Hindu-Muslim Relationships: A Psychoanalytic Exploration of the Self and the Other (Yoda, 2024).
