Introduction to Integrated Individual and Group Psychotherapy

Seminar Description

The combined therapy model, with alternating individual and group sessions, provides a psychotherapy setting where patients can be helped to change basic character features which interfere with optimal functioning. Individual sessions provide the safety and nurturing of a one-to-one relationship while the group offers opportunities to try out different ways of living with others. The course will cover the following topics:

• The real and transference relationships
• Identifying and expressing feelings in a healthy way
• Separating thinking from emotions
• Making changes on a physiological level
• The necessity of emotional dependency on the therapist
• The therapeutic setting and contract
