Historically, psychotherapists have worked with individuals, small groups, large groups and organizations. We have moved from treating pathology to facilitating personal growth to expanding public consciousness. A next step is the life-long guidance of congregations of people. With religion as a precedent, and large group formation as an instrument, Dr. Polster will show how we may address the everyday, non-pathological needs of the community at large, spelling out some of these procedures and their theoretical underpinnings.
Within the enormous complexity of human experience, the reflex to connectedness rescues the person from fragmentation. Connectedness may be therapeutically restored along four pathways: moment-to-moment, person- to-person, event-to-event and one part of the person to the other parts. Dr. Polster will discuss and demonstrate how to do this.

Topical Panel 05 from the Evolution of Psychotherapy 2000 - Training Therapists I
Featuring Mary Goulding, MSW, Jay Haley, MA, Arnold Lazarus, PhD, and Erving Polster, PhD.
Moderated by Elly Bader, PhD.
The focus and re-focus of attention is represented everywhere in psychotherapy; nowhere more pointedly than in hypnosis, meditation and the gestalt concept of concentration. Expanding on these techniques, Dr. Polster offers three options for heightening attention in the ordinary therapeutic relationship: tight therapeutic sequences, the reconstruction of storyline and the spotlighting of selves. Each of these impels attention, helping to create an imbeddedness into previously squandered ingredients of the patient's life.
