RESUMEN
This is the third in a series of three articles that chronicle and examine the 25-year history of the American Group Psychotherapy Association from 1992 to 2017. This time period has been divided into three naturally occurring eras: the pre-9/11 era, the 9/11 era, and the post-9/11 era. To permit meaningful comparisons across time, an effort has been made to contextualize events and to examine each era using the same set of seven facets/dimensions: (1) mission(s); (2) structure and administration; (3) jewels in the crown; (4) membership; (5) financial health; (6) organizational tensions and family dynamics; (7) relationships with the outside world.This account while based on objective data, like all such histories, is inherently subjective. Choices about which specific events to chronicle, as well as their meaning and significance, are filtered through the authors' perceptual and conceptual lenses.This third section focuses on the post-9/11 era.

RESUMEN
If one begins with the assumption that human beings have an innate drive to be in relationships, then one understands behavior that seems counter to that goal as defensive behavior learned to protect against anticipated injury in the interpersonal world. This leads to a leader focus on the ways group members relate to one another, underlining and working with those behaviors that invite intimacy and those that do not.
