CCTP has provided a distinctive learning opportunity for therapists, coaches, consultants, executives, and leaders from around the world since 1980. In structured, intense, and highly interactive sessions, participants learn how to become effective agents for change using the Cape Cod Model.

The Cape Cod Training Program is an intensive training program teaching the theory and application of the Cape Cod Model. This sequence of brief and in the moment feedback interventions produces rapid and enduring growth for individuals, and groups whether in a family or organizational setting, and in both hierarchical and peer relationships. The foundational theory has been developed and refined over decades of use in family and organizational systems
and is based on understanding the balance of intimate and strategic interactions that are necessary for creating and supporting change.

The first week focuses on working with pairs or couples and includes: perceiving a system instead of separate individuals, exploring the role of the intervener, examining countertransference and boundaries, and connecting intimate and strategic ways of relating.

The second week is focused on working with small groups.
Topics include:

      • working effectively within hierarchical systems
      • understanding the difference between working with
        families and organizations
      • and using experiments

CCTP is structured so that content and theory presentations are followed by intensive small group practice sessions in which the underlying concepts are applied. Faculty members rotate through the small groups, enabling participants to be exposed to different styles and receive individual feedback from all of them. This intensive program provides an unusually high level of individual attention and feedback from faculty because of the faculty student ratio (one to six), and the emphasis on experiential learning and practice.

Benefits

Participants will:

    • Learn a powerful new perspective that recognizes behavior
      and interactions of systems, rather than individuals, creating
      new and dynamic possibilities for intervention.
    • Use this systems perspective in working with couples and
      small groups, including developing a technique for giving
      compelling, positive feedback that strengthens the system
      and builds its ability to move toward change.
    • Learn how to appreciate and articulate what the system is
      doing well.
    • Understand a sequence of steps for intervening in any system.
    • Learn to use the power of oneself as an instrument of influence.
    • Gain insights into the differences between strategic and intimate
      ways of relating, and understand the appropriate use of each.
    • Learn how to create and use experiments with clients to expand
      their range of behavior.
    • Discover how to work with differences.
    • Learn different techniques for working with families and working
      with organizations.

"I learned more about working with couples, families and organizations in a week of CCTP than I learned during my entire counseling studies. The Cape Cod Model has a compassionate approach as well as a common-sense clarity available to everyone whether professional or not. Equally important though, and quite unexpectedly, while learning this model, I did exactly the kind of work I needed to do in myself in order to relate openly and respectfully to others. This therapeutic model works both ways! Two additional elements make this program unique. One is the friendly and warm staff and the other is the gorgeous landscape where the center is located. Taking a break from the work to walk outside soothes one’s eyes and soul.”

“The Cape Cod Training Program is, on the one hand, rooted in deep knowledge and understanding of the nature of individuals and groups. On the other hand it has been refined into a model that is precise and simple to learn. Having studied quite a few approaches in different programs I can say this combination of deep professional logic that has been refined into a clear powerful ethodology is unique! I have found this model and the way it is taught by GISC’s skillful faculty a magical contrib-ution to my work with individuals, teams, and organizations!”

"Cape Cod Training Program, although focused on teaching of skills, is a life changing program. I know few people who have not come away from it without saying that it has transformed the way they think and live in the world."
