Psychotherapy is the goal that receives the most attention at our center and is covered in all phases of our training program. Our objectives are calibrated in developmental complexity that will be enumerated in the following section. Each intern is assigned a social work field placement student during the fall and spring semesters. Group Therapy is initially addressed through co-facilitation and processing with a senior staff member in the fall. Interns are encouraged to offer their own groups in the spring semester.
Individual supervision provides time each week to supervise group work in the spring semester.
Interns work on committees, participate fully in staff meetings and retreats, and help in the selection process of future interns. In this capacity, interns work as colleagues for the goal of improving our organization. They also are required to give at least five presentations to the university community. A seminar addresses the content and process skill necessary to give effective presentations. Mentoring relationships also provide help with outreach presentations.
