Description
Description: This workshop highlights the therapist’s personal presence and genuine connection as critical to effective therapy. Emphasis is placed on activating clients' strengths and setting clear, loving boundaries within families. Using a blended family case involving past abuse and behavioral struggles, Satir models practical approaches for safety, communication, and managing complex family dynamics. The session also addresses cultural and personal considerations around physical touch, demonstrating sensitive, respectful handling of therapeutic interactions through role-playing examples.
Syllabus Description: This workshop will center around a videotape of my work. Discussion will focus around what I see, how I choose the moment of intervention, and the kinds of intervention I choose. Concepts will be related to the theory underlying my practice as a family therapist.
Educational Objectives:
- To heighten, widen, and deepen the therapist's ability to intervene while clearly understanding the purpose of the intervention
- To describe the effect of the therapist's personal investment in the intervention
