Description

Description:

Self-Image Thinking (SIT) is a term Lankton coined in 1979 for a cognitive-emotional intervention he uses with clients. SIT is a cognitive-affective rehearsal of experience and behavior that takes advantage of the neurological motto: "What fires together, wires together." This workshop will cover both the SIT protocol and various therapeutic uses of the intervention.

Educational Objectives:

  1. To name the steps of the Self-Image Thinking protocol.
  2. To list three therapeutic situations in which Self-Image Thinking would be a useful adjunct.
