The Brooklyn Professional Discussion
Group Presents presents it's fall
program! This marks the beginning of
our 3rd Clinical year!
We will start on September 26th with:
Growing and Maintaining a Thriving Independent
Practice in Difficult Times!
To develop a self sustaining practice requires that you
situate yourself in a broader network of
professionals and para -professionals. By learning
effective networking skills and basic marketing
techniques, you will gain passion and power to build and
enhance your specific group
psychotherapy practice. Participants will generate an
entrepreneurial culture of abundance, gain
a ‘yes I can’ motto, and reduce resistance to marketing.
Didactic - Experiential - Sharing of
Experience.

For our October 31st program:
Carl Jung Goes to Group: Jungian Approach to
Group Work
This introductory presentation will look at archetypal
patterns in group interactions and how recognizing
them may be used to more deeply understand the
psycho-dynamics of the group and the affects involved.
Archetypal patterns and their accompanying imagery as
discovered by Jung and Analytical/Archetypal
Psychology will be shown in action in group vignettes.
Using the archetypal imagery of The Ugly Duckling and
Cain and Abel we will explore typical affect patterns
commonly seen in groups and learn to recognize and
use these images in our work.
