The
Deeper Psychology of Home: Where We Come From, Where We Live Now
Chair:
Peter J.
Taylor, Ph.D., CGP, SEP, Private Practice, New York, New York
Therapy most
often focuses on relationships among people. This workshop
explores, instead, the role of place in our lives: how we find
sustenance or recreate deprivation in the spaces in which we live
and work. A variety of group processes will elucidate participants'
sense of "home" and identify clinical applications.
