Overview

This passionate book describes a consultation method for practicing psychotherapists, which combines training and experiential learning. The underlying principles of this unique group consultation process are described along with lively illustrative-vignettes. Unlike many other supervision models for therapists, Therapeutic Group Consultation, is based on developing the person of the therapist, as the primary influence on therapy and secondarily on clinical strategies for treatment.

Author Information

I am a licensed clinical psychologist and a board-certified psychoanalyst who has been in an independent practice for more than 40 years. I was the founding editor of the online journal Otherwise, I served on the board of the International Forum for Psychoanalytic Education for 10 years, and I was elected president of the Michigan Group Psychotherapy Society. In addition, I have provided supervision for the Chinese-American Psychoanalytic Alliance, the Portuguese Association for Psychoanalysis and Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy, Aquinas College, and Michigan State University College of Human Medicine.I have also published two books, Power Games and Theaters of Trauma Special Edition, and more than 30 professional papers. With an interest in the interface between social-cultural issues and psychology, I have produced five films, three of which were finalists for the prestigious Gradiva Award. The first, Detroit: Living in Between, has recorded 18,000 online views. Filmmaking has led me back to writing and, at times, to mash-up my flash fiction with film. Through this medium and in my publications, I have tried to explore the darker side of human psychology with concision and impact.-Richard Raubolt, PhD, ABPP I began my doctoral studies in 1971 with a fellowship at DePaul University in Chicago and completed my PhD in 1978. I began working as a staff psychologist at Pine Rest Mental Health Center in Grand Rapids, Michigan in 1975 and became a licensed clinical psychologist in 1980, at which time I began my private practice. During the last 45 years, I have been an adjunct faculty member at Trinity Christian College, Hope College, Aquinas College, Grand Valley State Colleges, Michigan State University College of Human Medicine, and the Institute for Individual and Group Psychotherapy (IIGP). During this time period, I have had an active practice of individual, group, couples, and family psychotherapy and supervision of other therapists. I have also consulted with mental health agencies, businesses, and regional hospitals. I have been a board member at the Michigan Group Psychotherapy Society and IIGP for the last 20 years. Richard and I supervised our first group of psychotherapists 30 years ago, worked separately for many years, and now have co-led groups for the last 3 years. In April 2021, we began our fourth TGC group.-Kirk L. Brink, PhD
