Group Affective Model
The Affective Learning Model is an educational format derived from object relations theory that incorporates ideas from group analysis, neural development, systems theory, chaos theory, and affect regulation. Within our learning community, guest presenters, faculty, candidates, fellows, students and weekend attendees learn together, combining didactic material and experience through group process to integrate theory and technique, cognitive and affective elements, and intrapsychic and interpersonal dimensions.
IPI’s affective learning groups represent a core component of our weekend conference learning experience. Each participant meets in a consistent small group, twice daily and once on Sunday morning during the weekend conference. Faculty members act as group facilitators, and the group as a whole gives participants an effective way to gather and integrate intellectual and emotional responses to the didactic material at both individual and group levels. Unpacking and understanding the material as it emerges in the group process facilitates deeper learning, with implications for both personal understanding and clinical applications of the concepts. Participants value the small group as a place that fosters their development as clinicians, by giving the learner a close-in opportunity to discuss, argue, and wrestle with concepts and emotional responses to the material. Although elements of this group process can be therapeutic, it differs from a therapy group in the shared focus on learning concepts and ideas rather than addressing personal issues and concerns.
