Managing Love and Hate in Group Settings

 

Chair:

Ronnie Levine, Ph.D., CGP, Faculty, Center for the Advancement of Group Studies, New York, New York 

 

Open to participants with less than four years of group psychotherapy experience

 

This workshop is designed to help therapists understand and work more comfortably with both loving and angry feelings in groups and in themselves. Beginning with the leader's own reluctance to experience intimate feelings, this workshop will help participants to identify disguised feelings, control destructive aggression, and creatively transform it.
