The Institute admits trainees of any race, color, national and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the Institute. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national and ethnic origin in administration of its educational policies, scholarships and loan programs, consultations, conference, and other Institute-administered programs. |
| History: |
The Southeast Institute for Group and Family Therapy began in 1969 as a nonprofit educational institute called the Fellowship for Racial and Economic Equality. Its goal was to promote racial and economic justice in America. By 1971 training was being offered in transactional analysis and creative group problem-solving for professionals to confront social problems as well as improve their skill as psychotherapists. A primary focus was training faculty and counselors from traditionally Afro-American colleges throughout the South. In 1974, the Fellowship made Chapel Hill, NC its home and the name Southeast Institute was chosen to reflect an expanded focus. Shortly after this move, an experimental Mast of Arts program in Psychotherapy and social change was launched. 22 students were graduated. In 1975, due to a shortage of grant money to continue a graduate program, the Institute began to focus primarily on continuing education training and supervision for mental health professionals. An annual Spring Conference of the Southeast Institute was held from 1974 to the mid 1980's with 300 - 1000 people attending each year. In 1977, the annual Eric Berne Lectures on Social Psychotherapy were inaugurated with a lecture by Gregory Bateson, Ph.D. In 1999, the Institute celebrated its 30th year. A special conference was held in the Spring of 2000 to celebrate this event. Over the years, the Southeast Institute has earned respect and recognition for its excellence of training and for its continued commitment to developing effective models for individual and social change. |
