Group therapy training is highly valuable for the overall professional practice of psychotherapy. Learning to be a group therapist means learning about shame, resistance, fears of engulfment and abandonment, maintaining a self in relation to others, promoting empathic connection, strong affects in the moment, multiple experiences of the same interaction or event, and group dynamics. These concepts are highly relevant to all clinical work and other aspects of professional life. Training in group therapy should place greater emphasis on its broader applicability.
团体治疗培训对于心理治疗的整体专业实践具有极高的价值。学习成为一名团体治疗师意味着要了解羞耻感、阻抗、被吞噬和被抛弃的恐惧、在与他人的关系中保持自我、促进共情连接、当下的强烈情感、同一互动或事件的多种体验以及团体动力。这些概念与所有临床工作和职业生涯的其他方面都高度相关。团体治疗培训应更加强调其更广泛的适用性。
