Early Recollections Consultation Group

A special paid consultation group is being formed by the Puget Sound Adlerian Society (PSAS). The group is open to counselors, therapists, students, and other interested members and friends. The core-group members will make a yearly commitment (four meetings) and pay $75 for each meeting. Observers will make no commitment and pay $50 for each meeting attended. Three CE hours will be available for $5.00 for each meeting attended.

Robert Powers and Jane Griffith, master teachers and therapists, will consult with the group quarterly on Saturdays, 1:00-4:00 pm in northeast Seattle WA, beginning August 20, 2005. The current plan limits participation to a core group of six to nine members and a limited-only-by-space number of observers. Three core-group members will have the opportunity to present their cases each time. Observers will have the opportunity to observe and ask clarifying questions.

If you would like to join the group either as a core participant or as an observer, please call Carol Lee Smith at (425) 453-7890, ext. 290  [ Or, Send an email to PSAS ].

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR CONDUCTING PEER GROUP MEETINGS

The meeting location should be convenient for participants.
The meeting should take place at the same place and time [such as 9:00 A.M. on the
     second Tuesday of each month] so counselors can add it to their monthly schedules far in advance.
There should be no charge for attending the meeting.
Those counselors who are involved in the peer group meeting should work in similar settings and/or have similar areas of specialty in their work.
