Dr. Papero's coaching group

Coaching accelerates learning and allows the student to apply theory in real life situations. The Bowen coaching group format minimizes “group emotional process,” and encourages individuals to observe and think independently while applying systems concepts.

in Bowen theory will meet in Manhattan 3 times, in 2007-2008. Participants will prepare family diagrams and work system diagrams prior to their presentations, noting important dates, events and information significant to the presentation. Presentations focus on a question, problem or hypothesis. Confidentiality will apply.

Tuition Fee: $360 for 3 meetings, ($120 each) due at each meeting. Inquire about openings by July 10.
