Act

In 1976, together with Alice Ricciardi and Michael Hayne, Shaked founded the group analytical training workshops of the International Working Group for Group Analysis in Altaussee , where he has been leading all large groups for more than thirty years and is in charge of group analytical training at the ÖAGG in Vienna. Josef Shaked is a member of the Group Analytic Society (London) and an honorary member of the German Working Group for Group Psychotherapy and Group Dynamics (DAGG). Since 2007 he has - together with Wolfgang Martin Roth - been editor of the Austrian Yearbook for Group Analysis .

Shaked has made the leadership of the large group and its intellectual penetration his life's work. He communicates his experience in his leadership role, in lectures and in publications. He was the first to establish large groups in the German-speaking area for the purpose of self-awareness and training.

Shaked was and is formative and decisive for several generations of psychoanalysts.

“The group interests me for a special reason: because of the phenomenon of mass psychology. Psychoanalysis has failed in the face of mass psychology. When you see how naive and completely ignorant the psychoanalysts reacted to Hitler in Germany and Austria and how some of them are still doing this on this subject, that has always frightened me. That was my motive for engaging with the group, and that was also a reason why I came to the large analytical group. My personal motive was fear of how civilized people can be so unleashed. "

- Josef Shaked : In: Grossmann-Garger, Parth, 1999, p. 8f.

In honor of Josef Shaked's 80th birthday, the ÖAGG organized a three-day symposium in November 2009 with the title The Large Analytical Group, in which important group analysts from all over Europe took part.
