Part of BGSP's Department of Continuing Education Events' Fall 2023 series, "Psychoanalysis in Today's World." Co-sponsored by the Northeastern Society for Group Psychotherapy and the Boston Graduate School of Psychoanalysis.
Saturday, October 14, 2023 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM ET
Registration deadline: 10/7/23
This event is in-person and will be held at the Boston Graduate School of Psychoanalysis, 1581 Beacon St., Brookline, MA.
There is no better way to learn about group process and leadership than to be in an experiential group with a clear contract and well-articulated boundaries. This makes it a secure and effective environment to learn about both groups and oneself; it also means that the emotional experience can be intense. While these groups are process groups, they are not psychotherapy. This full day event involves experiential groups, limited to 12 members each, which offer the opportunity to reflect on both oneself as a member and the work of the leader. A brief period of didactic material and discussion will follow the experiential component of the day.
Participants choose to commit to a Special Interest Group or a General Experience Group.
This is the registration page for Group 1: Special Interest Group: What Wasn’t Said: The Mother-Daughter Relationship.
-
- Geri Reinhardt, LICSW and Kim McNamara, LICSW
The internalized mother-daughter relationship is one of the most impactful experiences in life. The developmental importance of this relationship, and the wish/need for sustained connection, sometimes makes it difficult to say what needs to be said. This group, for those who identify as daughters or mothers or both, explores how the impact of these internalized relationships affect sense of self, relationships with others and belief in the ability to impact the world.
Group Leaders:
Kim McNamara, LICSW has been in private practice for over 30 years where she has run groups for women and adolescent girls. She previously taught Advanced Group Process at the Smith College School for Social Work. She has been involved in NSGP for over 20 years where she has worked on the conference committee and co-chaired the annual conference. She is currently Co-Chair of the Experience Group Committee.
Geri Reinhardt, LICSW has been in private practice for many years. Geri works with individuals and couples and groups and currently leads three long term women’s groups. She has been actively involved in NSGP and has served many terms on the Board of Directors, the training and conference committee and is currently co-chair of the Experience Group Committee.
