Exploring the Essential Features of “Encounter Groups for Addictions, Volume III: Keys to Fostering Growth – Rod Mullen”

Learn the key skills of fostering growth and change in encounter groups.

In the final volume of this 3-video series, Rod Mullen discusses several key components to fostering growth and change in groups. He first explores the “marathon group” and how these day or week-long sessions can bring participants into deeper understanding of themselves and what they need to change. He then discusses the importance of moral growth and ways in which facilitators can lead groups that foster moral growth by providing credible role models, healthy levels of conflict, role-reversal, and the teaching of responsibility. Finally, Mullen discusses the prevalence of PTSD among addicts and how encounter groups offer opportunities to heal from childhood abuse.
