About the Group Therapy Training Program

The Group Therapy Training Program (GTTP) is a new program for the Bay Area, offering a two-phase, in-depth study of the theory and practice of group therapy facilitation. The faculty includes senior group therapists and experts in group psychotherapy from TPI and the larger community.
 
The program is divided into two phases. In Phase I, the training covers both the process and tasks of developing groups and the fundamentals of group psychotherapy. In Phase II, the program provides intensive individual and group consultation to those who are leading psychotherapy groups.
 
Both phases of the GTTP program include weekly group consultation covering both didactic material and here-and-now exploration of the dynamics of the training group itself. Weekly individual consultation is available for those enrolled in Phase I of the program and is required for those enrolled in Phase II.
 
The Group Therapy Training Program is open to licensed professionals working in private practice or at agencies. Interns working in agency settings will be considered for Phase I of the program.
