AGPA and the village well.
This article is based on the author's presidential address, which was presented at the 50th anniversary meeting of the American Group Psychotherapy Association in February of 1992. Using the metaphor of the village well, Dr. Alonso argues that AGPA faces both the opportunity and challenge to serve as the leader in facilitating communication among four diverse groups: colleagues in other professional organizations; academia and its training programs; the world of managed care and third-party payers; and, the consumers of our services, our patients.
