Working with Here-and-Now in Clinical Practice, In Individual & Group Therapy Settings
In clinical practice, irrespective of modality or clinical focus, attention to the therapeutic relationship is essential for positive outcomes, and in group therapy, the interpersonal group process (the Here-and-Now) has a powerful influence on outcomes. Exploring Here-and-Now interpersonal interactions within the therapeutic relationships in Individual and Group Therapy settings can enhance deep interpersonal learning, self-understanding, and healing. However, group therapy programs may under-utilize the group process as an agent of change, and it can be challenging to effectively use Here-and-Now interactions in both individual and group therapy settings.
This workshop explores the therapeutic power of interpersonal learning and provides opportunities to develop skills and knowledge of using the Here-and-Now within counselling and psychotherapy practice.
Workshop Aims:
• Expand knowledge of the theory of Interpersonal Group Therapy.
• Understand how to use Here-and-Now in clinical settings
• Explore the power of interpersonal learning and feedback.
• Expand your skills by facilitating the Here-and-Now process emerging in the workshop
• Gain understanding of therapeutic benefits of using Here-and-Now process.
• Discuss the complexities of setting-up and sustaining group therapy in private practice
• Discuss ethical and cultural concerns when facilitating Group Therapy
