Friday and Saturday, June 6 & 7 La Group Psychotherapy Society Holds Institute
The La. Group Psychotherapy Society will host Dr. Richard Billow, clinical psychologist and psychoanalyst, at its upcoming Spring Institute this week, Friday June 6 and Saturday June 7. The Institute will be held at the Holiday Inn – Superdome, 330 Loyola Avenue in New Orleans.
Billow will lead the two-day experiential training, “It’s All About Me (and You): The Group Therapist’s Use of Self.” The workshop is designed to help participants distinguish different types of process- oriented interventions and their theoretical underpinnings. Including in the training are activities to help understand activities that lead to resistance, rebellion, refusal, and the development of “nuclear ideas.”
Dr. Billow will introduce the training with, “Group Process: What is it and Who Says So?” on Friday morning, following by group demonstrations and small group experiential work lead by Michael Cascio, LCSW, Christen Cummins, LCSW, David Hayes, PhD, Christophher Garner, PsyD, Capi Landreneau, LCSW, Stanley Masinter, LCSW, Karen Travis, LCSW, and Raney-Mills Kiely, LPC, leading an Art Therapy group.
Thirteen and one-half continuing education credits are approved for psychologists, and applied for for social work, counselors, and substance abuse counselors.
Dr. Billow has been associated with the Gordon Derner Institute of Advanced Psychological Studies, Adelphi University, New York, since 1968. He is Clinical Professor and Director of the Institute's Postdoctoral Program in Group Psychotherapy, private practitioner, and author of three books, including Developing Nuclear Ideas: Relational Group Psychotherapy, published later this year.
