Open to participants with less than four years of
group psychotherapy experience
In the practice of
combined individual and group psychotherapy, a critical time for the
patient is the move into the group from the exclusivity of
individual treatment. Patients are flooded with emotion regarding
entry into a group, therefore, the therapist’s skill and sensitivity
are critical in navigating this transition.
