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 3: General Experience Group
General Experience Group

The general group experience allows the members’ wishes to emerge and unfold and creates a space for relationships and self to be better understood.
