Conference
Friday, October 23, 9:00-5:00
Registration at 8:30 AM
Group therapists are continually challenged to manage their own emotions, which may at times include intense feelings of desire and aggression. This conference will provide a thoughtful analysis and constructive approach for transforming powerful affect into effective interventions that can deepen the group experience. After an overview of theory, participants will be encouraged to share from their own clinical work. Attendees will also have the opportunity to participate in an in vivo group to explore this topic in greater depth.
Upon completion of this workshop, participants will be better able to:
- Explain the leader’s crucial role in integrating forbidden affects into the group.
- Describe the intersubjective processes that unfold over the course of a group session.
- Distinguish between productive and unproductive expressions of forbidden affects.
All levels of experience welcome!
