Inspired by the article he wrote which highlighted the lack of opportunities for experiential family therapy training in the Greater Washington area, Jonah Green spent a week in New York City at the Minuchin Center, where he received supervision from experienced family therapists such as Ema Genijovich, Wai-Yung Lee, and George Simon, among others. The supervision included role-plays as well as one way mirror training. The students he studied with included psychologists, social workers, nurses, and marriage and family therapists from all over the World, including several from the Far East. Joined in the city by his wife and children in the city towards the end of the week, Jonah was also able to turn the experience into an enjoyable family vacation.
