Description

This course delves into the principles of group process, group dynamics, and group development across the lifespan, building on the foundational group techniques introduced in previous courses (OTS101, OTS104, OTS122). Students will formulate group protocols and share case material from Level I Fieldwork to demonstrate the effectiveness of therapeutic group planning and techniques. The course emphasizes the development of communication skills and group process activities to promote logical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving. Through these activities, students will further understand and develop their therapeutic use of self, group techniques, leadership skills, and peer collaboration. Students will identify and gain further insights into their own personal leadership styles and how this contributes or detracts from a team as well as developing strategies and skills to support team process and/or group process. Prerequisites: OTS101, OTS103, OTS104; OTS122, OTS110, OTS122 Co-req
