Welcome
The
San Francisco Psychotherapy Research Group, Clinic and Training Center
is a nonprofit organization of mental health therapists, interns,
and friends whose goal is to further the development of psychotherapy
through teaching and research. The Research Group was started in 1972
to rigorously and systematically study the therapeutic process. In
1990 the Research Group incorporated into an independent nonprofit
organization which offers courses, workshops, and ongoing case conferences
to the public. In 2002, we fulfilled one of our biggest dreams when
we opened our new Control Mastery Center in San Francisco's Presidio.
In addition, we established a low-fee psychotherapy clinic to serve
the community.
We welcome new members (see Membership page for information). Dues
and contributions are fully tax-deductible.
