Consultation groups
of Imago colleagues enhances and improves the quality and integrity
of relationship care we give couples. Several groups meet in
the NYC / NJ / Conn. area. They meet monthly for 2 hours for
10 months of each year. The learning and sharing are an enormous
benefit to each therapist. I encourage all Imago therapists
to participate in a consultation group. |
