Continuing Education Hours offered

This training institute is an opportunity for clinicians to experience first-hand the joys and challenges of group process. Learning how to be a group member is a foundational piece in learning to be an effective group leader. A significant difference between a therapy group and a training group is a level of self-consciousness.

This training group has the dual function of both process and observation. Members work and have authentic, here-and-now interactions. The leader serves as a trainer-leader and facilitates the process. Meanwhile, the group goes through the life stages of a group with beginning, middle and end. Between process sections are 'processing the process' sections where members discuss what they have observed in the group and ask the leader what his or her motivations and thoughts were during a particular moment.

A training institute may be topical or purely process-oriented. This institute will be focused on the use of immediacy in the group process. Immediacy utilizes the charged material in the room at the moment it is happening.

Limited scholarships are available. Scholarship application deadline is July 8.
