Each panel
member will present a brief group problem, such as a problematic
member, conflictual member or leader interactions, therapist
negative countertransference, etc. Each panel member (and later the
audience) will participate in the peer supervision and demonstrate
the primary use of emotional/cognitive components in the therapeutic
process, and which are playing primary and secondary roles. The
various presenters will demonstrate their own theoretical styles in
analyzing the problem vignettes. Group-as-a whole, Interpersonal,
Bion, Foulkesian Group Analytic, and Freudian understanding will be
demonstrated by each presenter. It is to be noted that the panel
members will not have shared their clinical examples, in advance of
this presentation.
