National Clinical Training Seminar (NCTS) October 23-24, 2006
It is time again for us as a community to embrace, embark upon and engage another learning opportunity! The Fall 2006 National Clinical Training Seminar will be held Oct. 23-24, 2006 (Monday and Tuesday). The venue will be at Carmel Retreat, Mahwah, NJ. Registration time is between 10.00 a.m. and 10.30 a.m. Continental breakfast delicacies will be available then. Sessions will begin at 10.30 a.m. Lunch is scheduled for 12.30 p.m.
The Rev. David Franzen will offer a workshop on the themes: Attachment: (1) The Work of John Bowlby, (2) Separation: Anxiety and Anger.
David M. Franzen, Th.M., D.Min., is the director of the Pastoral Care and Counseling Department at Alamance Regional Medical Center in Burlington, NC. He also maintains a small private practice in Pastoral Counseling, Supervision and Consultation from his home office in Durham, NC. Alamance Regional Medical Center offers programs in CPE at all three levels. It also offers a Doctor of Ministry program in Pastoral Counseling and Psychotherapy in conjunction with The Graduate Theological Foundation, South Bend, Indiana.
Dr. Franzen is a CPSP Diplomate, a Supervisor in ACPE, a Fellow in the American Association of Pastoral Counselors, and is completing his term of office as Chair of the NC Board of Examiners of Fee-Based Practicing Pastoral Counselors.
This event is open to supervisory and psychotherapy trainees, pastoral counselors and clinical chaplains. Clinical Supervisors and Pastoral Counselor Conveners are urged to inform and encourage your supervisory/ psychotherapy candidates, pastoral counselors and chaplain interns to attend. This kind of seminar fosters the development of those in clinical training. It affords individuals opportunities to process their work with trainees/patients and to receive feedback from a wide spectrum of peers and colleagues.
Every participant is expected to bring clinical material either in video or written form for presentation. Participants will be assigned a time slot in a peer group. All participants are encouraged to participate fully until the end of the two-day event. Early departures tend to adversely impact the group experience. (For those uninformed about the Tavistock model, there is a wealth of information via key word: Tavistock/group relations)
