Using
the Power of the Moment in Understanding the Past
Chair:
Gail A.
Brown, MA, CGP, Director of Academic Training, Center For
Group Studies, New York, New York
Open to participants with less than four years of group
psychotherapy experience
This workshop
demonstrates the effectiveness of a 'here and now' approach to group
by emphasizing the relationships of group members in the present
moment. Combining the techniques of bridging and immediacy, we will
study how members re-live their historical patterns in the moment.
Methods of formulating and timing of maturational interventions are
explored.
