Description
Description:
The experience of being a therapist can often seem routine, dealing with similar issues, telling well-worn stories, and applying favored methods. Yet occasionally there are moments, even whole sessions, that appear miraculous in their innovation. This workshop explores the process and mechanisms of creative breakthroughs, based on interviews with the world's most innovative clinicians.
Educational Objectives:
- To describe two mechanisms that lead to creative innovation in therapy.
- To describe three mechanisms that promotes greater flexibility in clinical practice.
