Description
Description: A workshop focusing on using creativity and collaboration to move past therapeutic blocks. Strategies include reflective questions, literature, and experiential exercises to shift perspective and address emotional patterns. Case examples show how books, fantasy scenarios, and symbolic storytelling help couples uncover fears, power dynamics, and relational contradictions. Tools like feedback forms and gender questionnaires support deeper understanding and personalized interventions.
Syllabus Description: One of the most effective ways of finding creative solutions to complex problems is to broaden the couple's frame of reference from the literal to the metaphorical. By using metaphors, symbols, fantasies, rituals and stories the therapist helps couples look "outside the box" for new perceptions and experiences. This process will be illustrated with videotaped excerpts.
Educational Objectives:
- To describe the process of looking "outside the box" in solving complex problems.
- To describe two ways of using metaphors to change experiences and perceptions.
