SCTRI Conference Presenter Profile

Claudia Byram

Claudia Byram, Ph.D., has worked since 1980 as a clinician and trainer, having taken a doctorate in developmental and clinical psychology (Bryn Mawr College). She began work with Yvonne Agazarian in the early 80s, and has shifted from psychoanalytic training toward systems as Systems-Centered therapy developed. Currently, she is a licensed Systems-Centered Practitioner with a clinical practice in Philadelphia. She leads Systems-Centered training events, as well as communications training and consultation in the SAVI (System for Analyzing Verbal Interaction) model.

Annual SCT Conference offers systems-centered training at all levels, as well as a variety of workshops relating SCT to different contexts.

Telebridge Seminars are held on the SCTRI telephone bridge line; members phone in and ‘meet’ in the electronic space created. This has proven a very rich and vital way for our disparate community to come together to explore both theory and applications.

SCT Workshops are offered in a variety of settings, initiated by SCT Trainers and Practitioners. Most include some theory and experiential work, and many focus on applying SCT in different settings.

Ongoing SCT Training Groups meet regularly, usually weekly or monthly. These groups include orientation to systems-centered theory and methods, and experiential work, which focuses on using systems-centered techniques to build a group within which members can explore their experience.
