Workshop
What makes us the group therapists we are? S.H. Foulkes suggested that the personality of the group analyst/therapist is perhaps the major influence on the development of the group. This workshop explores the person of the group therapist, the factors that lead us to work in groups, and the areas of growth and conflict that have influenced our development.

Starting in the family group, consideration will be given to the inter-personal relationships, group affiliation and authority relations as some of the touch points of development. There will be an exploration of the implications for present group therapy practice, as welll as the sense of future possibilities. Participants will be invited to contribute to an understanding of these processes and to share their own experiences.

All participants completing the workshop will receive a Certificate of Attendance for Continuing Professional Development purposes.
