EGPS Annual Conference

Each year approximately 200 clinicians attend this two-day Conference where they have the opportunity to participate in over 40 workshops, institutes, and plenaries focused on Group Psychotherapy and related disciplines.  It provides a forum to enhance skills, interact with colleagues, and obtain an overview of the most current work in the field.

We are proud to announce the theme of this year's conference:

"The Art and Science of Leading Groups:
The Interplay of Theory and Practice"

November 18-19, 2011
Riverside Church, New York City
