AGPS Institute: Dependency and Counter-Dependency in Group

The Austin Group Psychotherapy Society is an interdisciplinary organization of psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, and counselors who share a mutual commitment to continuing professional development and to excellence in the practice of group psychotherapy.Over the past decade, the Austin Group Psychotherapy Society (AGPS) has gained national recognition for the quality of our training opportunities and the warmth and enthusiasm of our members.AGPS trainings and social events are designed to mentor new professionals and students, expand the knowledge and clinical skills of all members, and enrich and rejuvenate established practitioners.

Austin Group Psychotherapy Society

Our culture glorifies independence, self-reliance, and autonomy as the hallmarks of maturity. Our more primitive dependency wishes are often strongly avoided in what we call a counter-dependent stance. In this institute we will look at our difficulty in having mutually interdependent relationships while exploring a full range of feelings and our defenses against them.
