"In this training video, Drs. Ed Jacobs and Christine Schimmel demonstrate core techniques for successful group therapy with adults. Divorce, addiction, anxiety, and parenting are addressed and explored collaboratively, as eight women support each other through reflection, crosstalk, and role-play activities. Skills and techniques covered include asking good, deepening questions; using rounds to engage members; drawing out; holding, deepening and shifting focus; teaching concepts and ideas; use of props and chairs; and more. By watching this video, you wil understand the arc of a successful therapy group, including its distinct phases; learn techniques to establish group rapport, deepen the therapy, and keep members engaged; and identify the necessary skills for facilitating crosstalk, focusing on members' needs, and linking common issues.
