Senior Lecturer
Psychology, Birkbeck College, London University, London, England
Open to
participants with more than ten years of group psychotherapy
experience
In couples work in
London, group analysis and object relations provide an
integrated theory
for treating clinical and relational problems using individual,
marital, and group
therapy. We explore the theory, use it with role-play in
assessment and
apply it to individual, group, conjoint, 4-way and couples group
therapy.
