Description
Description:
This workshop will demonstrate through lecture, videotapes case examples and practice exercises how a working knowledge of "language games" can allow therapists to appropriately, respectfully and effectively address emotions in the context of psychotherapy and conversely, how misuse of language could potentially lead to a variety of negative consequences including client disenfranchisement, disempowerment, reification of problems and iatrogenic symptoms.
Educational Objectives:
- To describe the difference between explanations and scientific reasons and their applicability to psychotherapy.
- To identify one essential condition that must be met in order to speak both accurately and respectfully with clients about emotion.
