1.5 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™
This course will provide a brief overview about the history of group therapy, general practices, and the state of literature around the effectiveness of group psychotherapy as an intervention for trauma survivors. We will review the function, benefits, and risks associated with highly structured groups vs. more process-oriented groups. Common dynamics that arise in groups comprised of trauma survivors will be explored. We will also discuss essential group management skills that aid in establishing and maintaining group safety and effectiveness.
