Presenter: Michael P. Frank, MA, LMFT, CGP, LFAGPA
Description: Calling upon his many years of group therapy practice and teaching, Michael will present what he has come to believe are essential elements of leading an effective psychotherapy group. Going beyond theory and technique, this workshop will explore how a therapy group actually helps the clients, how the being of the therapist is often more important than the doing, and how there is no one right way to do this work. The workshop will include didactic presentation, case examples, and discussion.
