Group analysis offers a helpful multi-perspectival lens
through which to improve our understanding and capacity
to work with challenges that emerge in groups. The
Institute of Group Analysis (IGA) are pleased to introduce,
Groups in Action, an exciting and innovative new series of
one-day training courses. Founded over 50 years ago, the
IGA is the UK’s leading provider of group psychotherapy
and Groupwork training.
Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) is a motivational and
integrative approach to working with shame and selfcriticism,
manifest in a broad range of psychological and
emotional difficulty. As a model of human suffering and
wellbeing, CFT is now being used not only in a wide range
of clinical settings, from primary care to secure forensic
services, but also in educational and organisational
settings.
CFT and Group Analysis meet in the commitment to offer
effective psychotherapeutic interventions to those who
have suffered multiple and complex traumas and those
who experience high levels of self-blame, self-criticism
and shame.
This training has been designed for practitioners,
therapists and clinicians who wish to provide a more
accessible pathway for this group of individuals. The
trainers will offer an overview of the CFT framework and
components of group analytic practice that have been
brought together to form an integrative model for complex trauma. The day will combine a theoretical
overview of Group Analysis and CFT along with practical
suggestions for developing, running and managing the
dynamics of long-term trauma focused group
psychotherapy.
There will be experiential exercises throughout the day,
focusing on developing personal practice in self
compassion and delivering psychotherapeutic
interventions.
Learning outcomes:
This training day will support participants to:
• integrate compassion focused therapy theory and
technique into group-work
• develop their knowledge and practice of group
psychotherapy
• engage with the personal practice of self-compassion
