The Center for Group Studies (CGS) was founded in 1989 to provide group leadership training for professionals. Our immersive, experiential training programs offer a dynamic and practical education that prepares participants for the exciting challenges that leading groups entails. Founded upon the principles of Dr. Louis Ormont, an international leader in modern analytic group therapy, CGS offers a psychodynamically-oriented understanding and experience in working with groups wherever they occur— in hospitals, schools, business settings, clinics, pastoral care, agencies, and more.
