GROUP PROGRAM
The Group Therapy Training Program emphasizes a psychodynamic understanding of group interaction, the importance of appropriate diagnosis for successful group treatment, the use of the therapist's self, the value of combined therapy, and the selective use of group modalities tailored to specific treatment situations. Focused courses in working with adolescent, addicted or elderly groups are available. We offer two training tracks.
TRACK 1
A two-year program involving seminars, supervision, leading group therapy, and personal group therapy. There are two one-hour academic and supervisory seminars on Fridays per trimester for a total time commitment of 6 seminars for the year (three trimesters). This track allows for an introduction to the basic concepts of group therapy and theory but could also be credited for those who want to pursue the entire program.
TRACK 2
A segmental program wherein a trainee may choose one and/or two components, thereby allowing maximum flexibility over an extended period of time.
