Description
Description:
The purpose is to transpose office therapy into communal application. Personal change is fundamental to psychotherapy but life focus is its instrumentality, often overshadowed. These groups will prioritize it, seeking to portray life. The groups may be large and life-long. Dr Polster will provide conceptual innovations, representative exercises and live communal illustration.
Educational Objectives:
- Apply principles of therapeutic practice beyond the office into communal settings.
- Create exercises appropriate to the life focus needs of people in the group.
- Name and explore the psychological themes that drive people’s lives.
