A Multidisciplinary Seminar for Training in Group Work
Abstract
As part of the staff development program at Kentucky's Eastern State Hospital, a five-session seminar was designed to teach group therapy techniques. It features lectures and small-group discussions on four types of groups: goal-oriented, supportive, confrontative, and psychotherapeutic. The discussions simulate the four types of groups, to show how the roles of leader and members differ in each. After completing the seminar, the trainees, who include nonprofessional ward personnel, gain experience by serving as co-therapists for patient groups.
