First Group Analytic Symposium in Ancient Dodona

“Connecting Ancient Greek with Psychoanalytic and Group-Analytic Thinking: Omen – Interpretation – Prevention“

7 & 8 July 2018

First Announcement

The Municipality of Dodona, the Institute of Group Analysis “S.H.Foulkes” (I.O.A.F. – member EGATIN) and the Cultural Centre of the Municipality of Dodona, co-organize the Interdisciplinary Symposium on Ancient Dodona on the theme: “Connecting Ancient Greek with Psychoanalytic and Group-Analytic Thinking: Omen – Interpretation – Prevention” , which will take place in Dodoni on July 7 & 8, 2018.

Starting from the complex role of the sanctuary of Dodoni during the Greek antiquity, the aim of the symposium is to search for connections between Ancient Greek and Psychoanalytic thinking, focusing on the triptych “Omen – Interpretation – Prevention”.

The Group-Analytical Thinking, based on a holistic perception of things, connecting past, present and future, can possibly contribute to new conceptualizations and emergences, as well as to new perspectives in approaching our ancient heritage and highlighting its value in the world.

The venue of the Symposium will be the Archaeological Site of Ancient Dodona and the nearby hotel “Prytaneion”.

The programme includes:

1. Short presentations by Group Analysts, Archaeologists and Historians, which will be concluded through dialogue with the audience.
2. Groups (Small and Large) of experiential participation and discussion.

The Groups (Small and Large) will give participants the opportunity to explore and connect experiential experiences with thoughts and knowledge on issues that have been and are of deep concern to human existence.

According to the philosophy of Group Analysis, the contribution of the audience to the discussion, both on the occasion of the presentations and within the Groups, is considered of equal importance to the prepared speeches.

At the same time, the scientific papers of the Symposium will interact with artistic events:

• “Music of the Dodoni Sound Landscape”.
• Narration of excerpts of Orphic hymns and ancient Greek tragedies by the actors: Yanna Koula, Yolanda Kaperda and Vassilis Siafi
• Theodoros Papagiannis (Professor Emeritus of Sculpture at the Athens School of Fine Arts – Founder of the Museum of Contemporary Art “Th. Papagiannis” – Hellenic, Ioannina)

The Symposium is addressed to individuals and institutions active in areas of scientific relevance. It should be noted that it will be more creative for participants to take part in all the activities of the Symposium, which are, after all, interrelated.

It is essential to submit the registration form (at the end of this notice), as places are limited. In particular for participation in the Groups, it is necessary to submit a declaration of interest by the deadline of 23 June 2018.

Abstracts of Presentations by Psychoanalysts and Group Analysts

Four Seasons of Cleansing: Ancient Greece, Freud, S.H.Foulkes, Modern Age

Stavroula Giannitsi, Psychiatrist, Group Analyst, Associate Professor of Psychiatry at the University of Ioannina, Director of the Mental Health Center of Ioannina, member of the Institute of Group Analysis “S.H.Foulkes” (I.O.A.F.), member of Group Analytic Society International.

The catharsis reflects a common ground between the field of theatre and the field of psychoanalysis and psychotherapy that goes as far as coupling in the case of psychodrama.

Catharsis as a word is widely known from Aristotle’s definition of tragedy, which, however, lacks an interpretation of catharsis, which has served as a conundrum for literary scholars over the centuries with many different interpretations. According to Herodotus and Plato, it is purification or purging from guilt or one-soule ,while according to the Hippocratic medical tradition it is the natural or artificial discharge from morbid humours.

Freud and Breuer in their publication “Studies on Hysteria” (1895), borrowed the term “psychotherapy” from Bernheim to describe the therapeutic technique they applied by hypnosis and suggestion to their patients. The subject of their study was Breuer’s patient Anna O, who, by this method, was achieving a dramatic discharge of emotions with a consequent feeling of relief from her plethora of symptoms. The authors called this therapeutic process catharsis, probably following the Hippocratic interpretation of the authoritative philologist Jacob Bernays, which was the prevailing interpretation at the time. Freud subsequently had doubts about the effectiveness of the cathartic method and gradually developed his psychoanalytic thinking and the construct of psychoanalytic theory.

In the early 20th century the first attempts at group therapy appeared. At the same time, the concept of the “therapeutic agent” began to be formulated as an important element of the therapeutic process. In the development of group therapies that peaked during World War II and afterwards, a strong presence in England was S.H. Foulkes, the founder of group analysis who made the transition from the binary approach of psychoanalytic thought to multi-faceted treatment of unconscious relationships. His relationship with theatre was pivotal. As he wrote in 1964 in his third book in a row, a play by Pirandello and a. play by Maxim Gorky were his sources of inspiration for conceiving the idea of group analysis. Foulkes distinguishes therapeutic factors into analytic , supportive and specific group. He considers catharsis a fundamental therapeutic factor and classifies it among the analytic ones along with transference, insight, workingthrough, etc.

In our time, clearance retains an important place in the therapeutic. lexicon of group therapies. However, to go beyond the limits of temporary relief and promote permanent changes, it is necessary to combine it with other therapeutic factors , as well as with the individual’s ability to process the cathartic event, to make sense of it within the therapeutic context and then within the context of his or her life.

Conscious time and the achronic unconscious: Conceptualization of temporal experience in Ancient Greek and Analytic thought

Fotis D. Yiotakis, Psychiatrist PhD, Psychoanalyst, IOAF-EGATIN-GASI Group.

Conceptualizations of temporal experience in the various phases of human historical evolution will be analyzed, which define time, sometimes as cyclically repeating or linearly evolving, sometimes as the generator of everything or non-existent, continuous or discontinuous, finite or unlimited.

We will refer, at first, to theoretical speculations about the conception of time in Ancient Greek thought, as formulated in the works of Homer, Hesiod, Orpheus, as well as the pre-Socratic, classical and atomic philosophers. From these sources of ancient Greek literature, the aforementioned versions of the experience of time emerge, which are still debated today and influence the being and becoming of humanity.

Subsequently, we will emphasize how perceptions of time (subjective or objective, conscious or unconscious) similar to those formulated above are explored through Analytic thought, as it is established in Freud’s Psychoanalytic theory and Foulkes’ Group Analysis theory and applied in the individual and group context of psychotherapy.

We also note that, indirectly or directly, time dominates the psychoanalytic framework. Timeless unconscious psychic processes, unchanging in the flow of time, are actualized in the present of transference, countertransference and through analytic interpretive work, the boundaries of the vulnerable ego are realized and strengthened, resulting in a better constitution of the image of the self and the world.

Finally, we attempt to link time, seen as duration and perspective, with the group-analytic concepts of the fundamental and dynamic matrix and the education of the ego in action.

The Ancient Greek Omen and Biblical Hermeneutics: Roots of Contemporary Group-Analytic & Psychoanalytic Interpretation

Nikos Lamnidis, Psychiatrist – Psychoanalyst (member of the HPSE and IPA), Group Analyst, former President of the Institute of Group Analysis “S.H.Foulkes” (I.O.A.F.), member of the Group Analytic Society International.

Certain features of the omen that bring it closer to what Foulkes called “unconscious-interpretation”-in-group, as opposed to mirrored rabbinic hermeneutics, which is closer to psychoanalytic hermeneutics, will be highlighted. It will be shown how the dialectical balance between the two constitutes a vital feature of contemporary therapeutic hermeneutics.

Relationship between analytic thinking and the oracle function

Jason Maratos , MPhil, DPM, FRPsych, MlnstGA Consultant in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, Group Analyst, Medical Director of PPCS, London

Having studied the function of the oracle it is possible to consider what issues the oracle was called upon to address and offer opinion on. We do not have enough data on the oracles of priests and priestesses. I will focus on the role of the oracle in the medieval prehistoric and proto-historic Greek area. Key ideas are those of individualism and group unconsciousness.

Eros and Death

Jason Maratos , MPhil, DPM, FRPsych, MlnstGA Consultant in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, Group Analyst, Medical Director of PPCS, London

This talk focuses on the creative and destructive forces as expressed in Greek mythology and psychoanalysis with the concepts of “Eros and Death”

Aspects of the Enneagram. From Dreamomancy and Enchantment to Divine and the Circle

Martina Britsa, Psychiatrist, Psychotherapist, Psychodynamic Psychotherapist, Group Analyst IOAF-EGATIN-GASI

Dreams are born in the primordial depths of the Soul and are ontogenetically and phylogenetically interwoven with the very cultural existence of humanity. In this paper we will attempt a connection of the forms of using dreams as a therapeutic tool: From its ritualistic forms in antiquity, to the inscription of Asclepius, its diagnostic use by Hippocrates and the dream-criticism of Artemidorus of Daldian, which influenced Freud’s psychoanalytic thinking, to Group Analysis and Foulkes’ use of the dream as a mirror of a therapeutic transference state which reveals much about the unconscious psychic conflicts of both the dreaming member and the Group as a whole.

The problem of free will and the question of responsibility in ancient Greek and psychoanalytic thought. From oracle to the causality of the unconscious

Dominiki Mylonas, Psychiatrist – Psychoanalyst (member of the HPSE and IPA), Group Analyst, member of the Institute of Group Analysis “S.H.Foulkes” (I.O.A.F.), member of Group Analytic Society International. Athens.

We will briefly review the historical development of the concept of free will and subjective responsibility.

We will discuss the search, through oracle, for divine will as a desire for knowledge of the deeper reality to which the human subject is subject. And it will be compared with the desire that drives modern man to seek the unconscious psychic factors that are decisive in his life in analytical psychotherapy.

Aspects of the Stranger, the Anonymity and Otherness in Antiquity: A Group Analytic Approach

Amalia Stamataki, Psychiatrist, Group Analyst IOAF-EGATIN-GASI, Group Supervisor.

Otherness as a concept was not unknown to the ancient Greeks. Plato contrasts the category of the other with the ident and Parmenides contrasts the eteron with the One and the Being. In modern psychoanalytic thought, identity presupposes the existence of otherness and vice versa, and the quality of their interaction determines the life and development of individuals and groups. According to J.P. Vernant, myth is the means by which intellectual categories and ‘an architecture of thinking’ are unconsciously transmitted from one generation to another. D. Winnicott, extending the notion of the transitional object, places cultural experience in the intermediate space between the individual psyche and the environment. In this presentation we will attempt, through illustrative references to forms that ancient myth and tragedy attributed to the alien, the unworldly, the other in general, to approach the function of this mythological otherness in the collective and individual unconscious in antiquity.

Between myth and tragedy: fury and melancholy

Lena Teliani, Clinical Psychologist, Group Analyst IOAF-EGATIN-GASI, Psychoanalyst

The object of this presentation is to describe pathological mental states, such as those of mania and melancholia, and ways of understanding them in a historical period defined between myth and tragedy.

The placement of mania and melancholia between myth and tragedy expresses an attempt to refer to the set of beliefs of that period (^5th century BC), and with it, an attempt to discover the path followed to form the beliefs related to these concepts, which then included all the manifestations of madness.

Abstracts of Papers by Archaeologists and Historians

Dodonite myths. Evidence and absence

Eleni D. Vassiliou, Archaeologist (MA, Dr.), Ephorate of Antiquities of Ioannina

According to the mythical tradition, in the area around the sacred oak tree of Dodoni, the Aegean Mother Earth was worshipped already from the Early Bronze Age (2500-2100/1900 BC). The chthonian deity resided in the roots of the oak tree and its symbols were the dove, the bull and the double axes. The traveller Pausanias (2nd century AD, 10.12.10) delivers an extract of a hymn sung by the priestesses of Dodona, confirming her worship: “Zeus was, Zeus is, Zeus will be. Earth bears fruit, therefore praise Mother Earth”. However, excavations have not found anything that testifies to the existence of a special place dedicated to the cult.

Following on from the above, and on the basis of the passage from the Iliad (P 233-235), where Achilles prays to Zeus Dodonaeus Pelasgicus, it was hypothesized that in the second millennium BC the worship of the Earth was replaced by that of the god Zeus, who differed from the Zeus of Olympus.

The purpose of this paper is to trace the feeling of absence that the presence of fragmentary evidence regarding the verification or otherwise of what the mythical tradition reports creates among scholars of Dodona.

The sanctuaries of the female deities in Dodona

Georgios Georgoulas, Archaeologist, Ephorate of Antiquities of Ioannina

After the completion of the 1967 excavation, S. Dakaris proceeded to complete the identification of the temple buildings that had come to light at Dodoni with the deities worshipped in them. The main reason for his hypothesis was the discovery by him of two oracle plates during the excavation of the stoa of the Bouleuterion in which the pilgrims invoked not only the well-known oracular pair of Zeus and Dione but also Themis and Apollo. Building L was attributed to the cult of Aphrodite and Building Z to the cult of Themis, while Buildings C and I were already associated with the cult of Dione. These identifications, although several times considered precarious, have not been substantially disputed to date.

The recent publication of the corpus of the oracle inscriptions of Dodoni adds new elements, among other things, to the study of the deities worshipped in the sanctuary. The appearance in the inscriptions of the names of a number of female deities (Themis, Aphrodite, Athena, Artemis, Demeter, Isis) gives rise to further study of their presence and function in the complex mechanism of the Panhellenic sanctuary of Zeus at Dodona.

The agony of prognosis. Questions of the pilgrims at the Oracle of Dodona

Ariadne Gartziou-Tatti, Professor Emeritus, University of Ioannina, Greece

The search for help from the Oracle of Dodona in order to solve human worries and problems has already been expressed in Homer’s Odyssey where it is mentioned that Odysseus fled to Dodona in order to know the will of God concerning his return to Ithaca (x 327 = t 296-299), while according to Aeschylus (Prometheus 832 ch. ) Io reached the talking oaks, trying to escape the wrath of Hera.

In addition to the mythical heroes and heroines, numerous pilgrims were led to the sacred space of Zeus and Dione, asking agonizing questions concerning their private or public lives. In most of the surviving oracular relics, questions about marriage, procreation, family problems, the recovery of lost or stolen objects, slavery, widowhood, travel safety, trade, health, cultic practices, etc. can be traced. These questions compose a panoramic picture of the issues that preoccupied the visitors of the oracle and feed back into contemporary scientific and anthropological research.

My paper is the trigger for an encounter with this complex edifice of the human spirit that encapsulates many of the agonizing questions about issues of human life.

Traumatic events: their material remains and their impact on archaeological research

Hara Kappa, Archaeologist, DEA, Ephorate of Antiquities of Ioannina

The discovery of a child’s burial, a settlement that was violently destroyed, a shipwreck, are just a few examples of investigations that bring the excavator – archaeologist, in direct and often shockingly unexpected contact with the material remains of traumatic events of the past. What emotional and psychic charges are activated during excavation, in which the immediate and detailed recording of all evidence is paramount, and when are these recorded? Does the science of archaeology, at all its stages (excavation, research, excavation) leave room for the development of emotional, psychic or even metaphysical processes when confronted with grief, loss, violence and human suffering?

Poems. Things. Symbols

Eleni Kotzampopoulou, Archaeologist, MPhil, PhD, Ephorate of Antiquities of Ioannina

The so-called “archaeological analogy”, in the model of vertical “stratigraphy”, is known to have been a central instrumental scheme during the formative period (late 19th century/early 20th century) of the science of psychoanalysis. It is worth recalling, however, that archaeology, at that time until around the 1960s, was defined within the framework of ‘thesaurology’ and ‘cataloguing’. Very briefly, the focus of investigation and explanation was, almost exclusively, on ‘poems’* as passive material forms or reflections of ideas.

The paper will outline, now from the perspective of contemporary theoretical archaeology, which draws on the broad dialogue that has developed with numerous disciplines (e.g. anthropology, ethnology, linguistics, neuroscience), the redefinition in an active way of material culture. It will, in other words, identify the shift in the ontological content of archaeology from “poems” to “things “**, an approach which, among other things, dynamically brings the collective subjects of history to the forefront of interpretation and reinterprets symbols in terms of agency and spatio-temporality.

Within the original dialogue that the Symposium attempts to formulate, the question will be raised as to how this shift towards ‘horizontal stratigraphy’ can be a beneficial field of interaction for both archaeologists and psychoanalysts.

* “any structure or work”

** “anything that has been done – event, act, work”

Questions about health in Jupiter and Dione

Eleni K. Skalisti, Archaeologist, Ephorate of Antiquities of Ioannina

From the sanctuary of Zeus and Dione in Dodoni, a total of approximately 1,550 ornamental plates are known, bearing 4,383 readable inscriptions covering the period from the 6th century to the 2nd century BC.

During the heyday of the sanctuary, the scope of the oracle Zeus prompted many believers to decide to travel to Dodona and ask the father of the gods and his consort Dione for answers to a variety of problems that concerned them. The questions were delivered to the oracle officials in the form of lead lamellae (known as oracle lamellae). Although the nature of the questions posed in the oracle is not always the same, their subject matter attracts the interest of modern research, both from an anthropological and, above all, from a cultic point of view. They reflect a variety of anxieties of people who resort to the help of the gods in order to overcome some personal difficulty.

An important category of these texts concerns questions relating to the health of both the visitors themselves and their relatives, without always specifying the type of illness for which the sufferers or their relatives resorted to seeking help from Zeus and Dione.
