• Case conference is designed as an ongoing seminar to provide an in-depth training for participants with their active client caseload. The purpose is to provide supervision to trainees on their clinical work involving counseling and psychotherapy.

• Trainees are expected to select two or three clients from their caseload ranging from long-term to brief in duration. These clients are followed throughout the school year with emphasis on assisting the trainee with clinical and theoretical skills. The impact of the client on the therapist is carefully examined. The participants receive supervision from the leaders as well as the other group members. While the major thrust of case conference is psychodynamic in orientation, other schools of thought are not excluded.

• Psychology interns, externs and post-doctoral psychology students make up the usual composition of the group. On occasion, advanced students and junior staff members at UCS are also admitted to the training group.
