Course Description
Participants will learn to conduct IPT for groups.
The course is specifically designed to include BOTH didactic and experiential training. Classes are scheduled once weekly to simulate the group experience, and lots of role playing will be utilized. Participants should expect to participate in role plays as well as practicing as group therapists. Participants should ensure that they are able to attend all sessions of the group training. The course will also provide on-going community following the formal conclusion of the eight weeks of training, with peer and expert support opportunities throughout the year.
