FROM 2011′s NCTS-West…
Welcome to the official site for the National Clinical Training Seminar – West (NCTS-West) !
The first NCTS-West will be held on September 19-20, 2011 at Serra Retreat Center overlooking the Pacific Ocean in beautiful Malibu, California.
NCTS-West is sponsored by the College of Pastoral Supervision and Psychotherapy (CPSP), the fastest-growing and only fully integrated professional pastoral care organization in the world.
The two themes are “The Use of Self: Transference and Counter-Transference in Pastoral Care” and “Chapter, Covenant and Community.“
These topics were chosen to address some of the most fundamental issues facing pastoral caregivers and central ones in the life of CPSP as a covenant community.
CPSP General Secretary Raymond Lawrence will be participating in the event.
The design of the NCTS includes a small group experience where all participants are expected to bring and share clinical material for consultation with their peers.
There will also be a Tavistock group experience, and an introduction to it, that will be of value both at the NCTS and as a take-away for participants’ chapters/small groups.
The NCTS is open to clinical chaplains, pastoral counselors and psychotherapists, CPE trainees and training supervisors. Members of new CPSP chapters and especially those in the West are strongly encouraged to attend. Colleagues who are not members of CPSP are invited to attend.
The cost for NCTS-West will be only $125 per person, including four meals and overnight accommodations, double occupancy.
