This webinar offers an in-depth exploration of working with bipolar members in psychotherapy groups. Assessment for group readiness, benefits of group, and therapist countertransference will be discussed. Drawing on modern analytic, relational, and affect regulation frameworks, we will examine the unique challenges and opportunities that arise with members navigating manic, depressive, and mixed states. Through case examples, discussion, and experiential work, we will explore strategies for containment, engagement, and repair, with attention to therapist countertransference and the group’s collective regulation and cohesion.
