The Group Circle Spring 2026 newsletter from the American Group Psychotherapy Association (AGPA) highlights a period of transition and growth, emphasizing collective leadership, transparency, and community engagement. In his first presidential column, Leo Leiderman outlines a vision grounded in shared responsibility, cultural humility, and inclusivity, alongside new initiatives to strengthen trust and member connection.
The issue features articles on the expanding impact of group psychotherapy, including media projects that bring group work to wider audiences and large-scale support groups developed during COVID-19. It also explores clinical innovation through the FRIENDS model for children and adolescents, shares a member spotlight, and highlights affiliate success stories. Together, these pieces reinforce AGPA’s commitment to advancing accessible, innovative, and community-centered group therapy.
