Description

Description:

Therapy is successful when clients are able to experience significantly changed realities. While the identification and transformation of symptoms is important in this regard, the activation of the client's creative capacity to make positive changes is even more important. This paper will explore how the 6-step model of Generative Psychotherapy provides a disciplined yet flexible process for helping clients claim and use their agency for creative change.

Educational Objectives:

  1. Identify the six steps for creative psychotherapy.
  2. List 3 clinical examples of using this approve.
  3. Describe how to transform obstacles into resources.
