Welcome to the American Group Psychotherapy Association's website. Our organization is an interdisciplinary community that has been enhancing practice, theory and research of group therapy since 1942. AGPA provides the support you are looking for to enhance your work as a mental healthcare professional or your life as a member of a therapeutic group.

"Strong Group Foundations: Building Lasting Communities" is the theme for the AGPA 2009 Annual Meeting to be held in Chicago, Illinois, February 16-21. You are invited to register for what promises to be a rewarding experience both personally and professionally.

New! AGPA releases "Practice Guidelines for Group Psychotherapy," a cross-theoretical guide to developing and leading psychotherapy groups.

If you are looking for a therapist, visit the Need A Therapist Section to make sure that you ask the right questions of your potential therapist.
