Robyn Walser, Ph.D. Six Session Telephone Series June - December, 2008
Dr. Robyn Walser will teach this group over six months. Her style is flexible, engaging and informative. The group will meet for one hour (with the initial session lasting 90") per month for 6 months. The group will be structured to maximize your learning of ACT and can include a number of things. We can explore everything from initial implementation to using ACT with specific clients. We will be flexible to meet the groups needs. We can also provide reading material for particular topics to facilitate the learning process. Emails are also a welcome form of communication. Group size can range from 4-12 people and Dr. Aptaker will organize and facilitate the group. There is some possibility of date and time changes; all efforts will be made to follow schedule.
