Abstract

TOPIC: A course in leading psychodynamic psychotherapy groups for assaultive men. PURPOSE: To teach multidisciplinary staff members to lead these groups, using both didactic and experiential learning. SOURCE: The author's own experience. CONCLUSIONS: Multidisciplinary staff members learned about the process of leading psychotherapy groups for assaultive men by attending lectures and observing the author lead a group over a 6-month period. The author's openness about her own thoughts, feelings, fantasies, and countertransference allowed students to explore their own reactions and to empathize with the patients, observing that they were not so different from them.
