Program Schedule

Tentative Program Schedule

The group-psychotherapy program blends tutorials with classroom instruction, phone and Internet connection with face-to-face meetings.

 

Phone contacts:

A weekly phone meeting with the personal tutor reporting the development, reading, experience of the student around the program, etc.

 

Internet connections:

1. Continuous email communication between the student and the personal tutor in which the student is assigned tasks, reports progress, sends homework and receives comments, asks questions, gets help in overcoming obstacles, etc.
2. Participation in an Internet forum with other program students in which they exchange ideas, support each other's progress, ask questions, communicate about their difficulties and become an on-line community.
3. Distant learning: lectures and homework tasks that are on the Internet and the student takes them in his/her available time.

 

Face-to-face interactions:

1. Meetings with the personal tutor every half a year.
2. Meetings with your peer group of students every half a year for 4 days.
3. Participation in group therapy for a year in your neighborhood.
4. Co-leading a group in your neighborhood with a senior therapist.
5. Leading a group in your neighborhood and being supervised by a local therapist.
6. Attending a conference.

 

Accordingly, the Group Psychotherapy Program is comprised of three venues:

 

Venue One: attendance at a twice a year four-day tutorial that will be held near home of the senior tutor. Currently it is held in Sacramento, California. The first intensive 4 day tutorial will tentatively take place between 13-16 of August 2007.

Venue Two: attendance twice a year at a four-day tutorial that will be held near the home of one of the participating students. The location will be determined through discussion with the students. The first tutorial will take place in November 2007.

Venue Three: attendance at a conference, convention, therapy group or training program. Place and date will be determined according to the student's needs and progress.
