What is GPASC?

Founded in 1952 and incorporated 1956, GPASC is a non-profit interdisciplinary association, organized "exclusively for educational purposes within the meaning of the Internal Revenue Code".

GPASC's Purpose

We, the Group Psychotherapy Association of Southern California, are committed to serving our membership and the mental health community. We provide interdisciplinary forums for professionals who use group psychotherapy for the enhancement of mental health. We support opportunities for professional development and personal growth and encourage on-going, peer consultation groups experience for the membership.

We have a special obligation to provide training and additional learning opportunities in group psychotherapy and group process for students and newly credentialed professionals.

We want our membership to enjoy and learn together in a nourishing environment which enhances social interaction, bonding and networking.

We recognize these goals can only be achieved through stimulation education programs conducted on a regular on-going basis for our membership and for the mental health community.
