Description:

This interpersonal process group is based on Dr. Yalom’s (2005) Interpersonal Group Therapy Theories. Our group has up to 6-7 members and meet weekly for 90 minutes. Process groups help members increase awareness of their thoughts and feelings in the moment and express them openly to each other. Group members offer each other support and feedback.  Members can discover what roles they tend to play in groups and safely try out new ways of relating. This group will be Mandarin-speaking.

参与心理团体的成员可以有效改善他们的人际关系，增进情感亲密度，有助于摆脱孤独感。研究表明，团体心理治疗与个体治疗一样有效，而成本更低。 如果您正对人际问题有疑惑，或生活中缺乏有效支持的关系，心理团体尤其有效。心理团体还可以帮助您加深个体心理治疗的效果。 CAPS的心理团体基于亚洛姆（Yalom）的人际关系团体疗法，团体成员限6-7名，每次持续90分钟。团体帮助成员提高对自己当下的思想和感觉的意识，并向彼此坦率表达。团体成员相互提供支持和反馈。成员可以发现他们在团体中扮演的角色，并尝试与他人建立新的关系方式。
