ABSTRACT

In 2020, telehealth and online (video) group therapy became the norm for almost all group psychotherapists due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It is likely that even after the pandemic many group therapists will continue to practice online, as some group therapists, like online group therapy expert Haim Weinberg, have been doing for years (Weinberg & Rolnick, 2019 Weinberg, H., & Rolnick, A. (Eds.). (2019). Theory and practice of online therapy: Internet Delivered Interventions for individuals, groups and families. Routledge.[Crossref] , [Google Scholar]). While the transition to online group therapy was new for many group therapists, online continuing education related to group therapy may not have been. Even prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, a lot of continuing education in group therapy was conducted online. During the pandemic, the availability of online training became especially important as this allowed for the ongoing professional education of group therapists and graduate students trainees. Certainly, 2020 saw an increase in online learning opportunities, including through the American Group Psychotherapy Association (AGPA) yearly conference, which was, for the first time, entirely online.

摘要

2020 年，由于 COVID-19 大流行，远程医疗和在线（视频）团体治疗成为几乎所有团体心理治疗师的常态。即使在大流行之后，许多团体治疗师很可能仍会继续在线练习，因为一些团体治疗师，例如在线团体治疗专家海姆·温伯格，多年来一直在这样做（Weinberg & Rolnick，2019 Weinberg, H.和Rolnick, A.（编辑）。（2019 年）。在线治疗的理论与实践：针对个人、团体和家庭的互联网提供干预。劳特利奇。[交叉引用]  , [谷歌学术]）。虽然向在线团体治疗的过渡对许多团体治疗师来说是新的，但与团体治疗相关的在线继续教育可能并非如此。甚至在 COVID-19 大流行之前，很多团体治疗的继续教育都是在网上进行的。在大流行期间，在线培训的可用性变得尤为重要，因为这允许对团体治疗师和研究生受训者进行持续的专业教育。当然，2020 年在线学习机会增加，包括通过美国团体心理治疗协会 (AGPA) 年度会议，这是第一次完全在线。
