Abstract

Expertise in leading therapeutic groups requires one's immersion and involvement as a whole person. The integrated mixture of the experiential and didactic in training programs may allow more group leaders to function humanistically as well as scientifically, the author believes. He reviews the work in the field and describes the program at the New York State Psychiatric Institute, where the experiential approach is being successfully incorporated into the training program.
