Description
Description:
Living is composed of a supreme flow of experiences. Therefore, people face a commanding challenge to their integrative powers. Telling helps them by revisiting this landscape, revealing the accessibly hidden markers of a lifetime. Dr. Polster will show how a sharply pointed attention to universal themes within a group process will light up our lives, giving shape to personal perspective. Techniques and precedents for conducting this process will be addressed.
Educational Objectives:
- Analyze the expansion of therapy principles beyond quasi-medical purposes of the psychotherapy office to the application of these principles to the needs of everyday living.
- Create congregations of people who meet for a communal exploration of life experiences.
- Analyze options for designing group experiences.
