Patient evaluation/preparation, group composition, stages of process, and therapist interventions are demonstrated through clinical material.

Kenneth Pollock, PhD, CGP
Sex and sexuality are transcending aspects of experience; hence, addressing sexual issues in psychotherapy is important. Employing theory, case examples, participant sharing, and discussion, attendees will examine ways to help groups explore sexual issues, both in the here-and-now and the there-and-then. Attention will also be given to countertransference..

The process group experience provides basic elements of group functioning, development, and here-and-now group process to examine both the dynamics and process of group psychotherapy. The Institute is structured to maximize learning about group formation, and the role of the leaders and participants in the establishment of group roles, boundaries, norms and structure. Psychodynamic concepts including transference, individual and group resistance and defense mechanisms will be examined as they emerge in the group process. The contribution of the leader to the development of a cohesive and functional group will be examined. There may be some short didactic lectures, but the bulk of the time will be spent in the experiential mode. Registrants are required to attend all eight sessions. CE credits will not be awarded to registrants who miss sessions.
12 CE Credits available at $240 for members/ $480 for nonmembers (Login required for member pricing).

Suicide is a leading health risk in the United States and worldwide. Many group clients experience varying degrees of suicidality on an ongoing basis.

Sunday, July 18, 2021, 8:00-9:30PM (Eastern) *Please be cognizant of applicable time zones
Jonathan Stillerman, PhD, CGP
We’ve come a long way from the classical analytic mandate that psychotherapists serve as blank screens for their patients’ projections. Yet, how therapists can most effectively use and reveal themselves remains controversial. This presentation will explore the unique complexities of therapist self-disclosure in group treatment.

Webinar: The Leader's Evolving Psychology and Its impact in Group
Sunday, August 15, 2021, 8:00-9:30PM (Eastern) *Please be cognizant of applicable time zones
Richard Billow, PhD, CGP, Chair; Bonnie Buchele, PhD, ABPP, CGP, DLFAGPA; Gila Ofer, PhD
Billow has asserted that "It is all about me"--meaning that the therapist remains a central group preoccupation. Complicating matters, the therapist does not remain impassive, and responds in tone, manner, gesture, even when relatively (or absolutely) silent, evolving along with the group and affecting its dynamic processes. What does this say about intersubjectivity? About what will take place during our brief presentation?.
