Group psychotherapies

For this modality, complete all of the following:

20 hours of group observation. A group(s) must be observed in their workplace or in a natural setting, e.g. at childcare, in the community, for at least 30 minutes at a time totalling 20 hours with equivalent supervision.
One individual case, seen once per week for 1 year (at least 40 sessions).
One group case, seen once per week for 1 year (at least 40 sessions).
- De-identified vignettes (<500 words) are required at the conclusion of both year-long cases addressing: the patient's presenting problem, formulation, psychotherapy treatment approach and outcome.
Two groups, psychodynamic or structured, occurring weekly for 16 weeks. (Can be the same group for 32 weeks.)
- Brief vignettes are required at the conclusion of both groups addressing: formulation, therapeutic alliance, progress and termination.
- If the same group is seen for 32 weeks, vignettes should be submitted at week 16 and week 32.
Individual supervision⁴ is required on a weekly basis during case work.
If the two 16 week groups (of the same group for 32 weeks) are complete, then the Stage 3 Fellowship psychotherapy requirement is considered met.

⁴For trainees, this psychotherapy supervision is in addition to the clinical supervision (4 hours per week over 40 weeks for full-time trainees) required for Stage 3 of the Fellowship Program.
