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.
