Description
Description:
Extrapolating psychotherapy leadership private sessions into Life Focus Communities would expand therapy’s inter-relational purpose, combining the treasures of belonging with the inspirational powers of people joining together in a continuing examination of the lived life. Dr. Polster will offer some novel comparisons with religion and demonstrate through experiential exercises how such groups may be conducted.
Educational Objectives:
- To name two major purposes shared by religion and psychotherapy.
- To name three types of activities to be built into the design of meetings of Life Focus Communities.
