COURSE DESCRIPTION

It is a course that introduces theories, applications and principles of group psychotherapy and group processes and that paves the way for more advanced development of professional structures and practice of group psychotherapy and group processes. Two methods of group psychotherapy and group processes are going to be applied: group analysis and psychodrama. Two formats of training are used: experiential and didactic.  Group experience is a corner stone of the learning process.
