This two-day conference will present an application of relational theory to group therapy work, using didactic and experiential methods. A combination of lectures, discussions, demonstration groups, and participatory groups will provide a comprehensive presentation of the theory and practice.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
Any mental health clinician interested in relational theory and its clinical application may attend. It is not necessary to be conducting groups in order to benefit from this conference, though the discussions will be geared to the theory’s efficacy in group work.
OBJECTIVES
Participants will be able to:
1. Describe some unique aspects of a relational approach to group therapy, such as the concepts of multiplicity and mutuality.
2. Apply these concepts to situations in clinical practice.
3. Recognize the differences between the two-person psychology of the relational approach and the one-person psychology of some more traditional psychoanalytic approaches.
