Description
Description:
Psychotherapy, an originally private medical procedure, faces two immediate challenges: 1) an asocial pharmaceutical ethos and 2) its own populist success, which now call out for a more inclusive format. The latter represents a growing option for life-long large groups tapping the innermost sensibilities of people and creating the embodiment of belonging.
Educational Objectives:
- To identify two of the four processes shared by religion and psychotherapy.
- To describe how the major mission of psychotherapy can be met by creating Life Focus Communities.
