Completion of the survey should take approximately 10-15 minutes. If you are interested in participating in this study please click on the Survey Monkey link below.

I am looking for three group observers for EPSY 8404: Group Counseling: Theory, Application, and Skills, during Spring semester 2013. Group observers will be asked to observe a simulated counseling group of students enrolled in EPSY 8404, process the group with group members after each session, and meet with other group observers and the instructor after class for a short debriefing period. Observers must have completed EPsy 8404 or its equivalent. This is an unpaid experience, and unfortunately, I cannot offer academic credit at this time. However, the time commitment is minimal and the experience can help you to improve or maintain group skills as you move forward into advanced practicum placement, internship, or another training setting.

Group observers would need to be available from 5:30-7:30 pm on eight Thursday evenings throughout Spring semester. Dates include: 2/14, 2/21, 2/28, 3/7, 3/14, 3/28, 4/4, and 4/11. There will be a short training meeting arranged prior to 2/14. While I am new to teaching this course, as a former CSPP MA and Ph.D. student, I remember the simulated group experience as a useful learning tool. CSPP students in past years have commented that participating as a group observer has strengthened their group counseling skills, as well as provided preparation for the MA comp exam. If you are interested in this experience, please contact me via my email below.

Thank you,
Julia Conkel Ziebell
