The College of Pastoral Supervision and Psychotherapy’s distinctive professional development opportunity, the National Clinical Training Seminar (NCTS), is coming to the Serra Retreat Center, in beautiful Malibu, California, September 19 – 20, 2011.
The themes are fundamental ones: "The Use of Self: Transference and Counter-Transference in Pastoral Care" and "Chapter, Covenant and Community." Teams of participant members will conduct sessions, and General Secretary Raymond J. Lawrence will be on-site and participating in the event.
There will also be a Tavistock Group Relations Seminar, which attendees will find value in, both at NCTS, and as a take-away when they return to their respective Chapters. As at our annual Plenary, participants are invited and expected to share their own clinical material in small groups in consultation with their peers.
NCTS-West is open to Clinical Chaplains, Pastoral Counselors, Psychotherapists, Clinical Pastoral Education trainees, Supervisors in Training, and training supervisors. Members of new CPSP Chapters and especially those in the West are especially encouraged to attend. Professional colleagues who are not members of CPSP are also invited to attend. NCTS-West is open to all CPSP Chapters participants, while providing a special opportunity for CPSP members in the West who would not ordinarily attend NCTS on the East Coast, to participate
The cost for NCTS-West is $125 per person, and includes four meals and one night's (overnight) accommodations, double occupancy.
Registration is strictly limited and closes August 17, 2011. You may REGISTER ONLINE NOW at: http://nctswest.wordpress.com/
