Description
Description:
Demo 1 -Interaction-Focused Couple Therapy - Wendel Ray, Ph.D.
Couples constantly exchange messages. Tone of voice, inflection and non-verbal behavior often imply meaning contradictory to overt messages. Making covert implications explicit is a technique that, when done with sensitivity, promotes healing. A method of using this fundamental of communication theory to promote change in couples therapy will be demonstrated.
Demo 2- Establishing a Focus for the Therapy in the Initial Session - Richard Fisch, M.D.
This demonstration will illustrate methods and give guidelines for formulating a focus in therapy developed at the Brief Therapy Center of the Mental Research Institute. Discussion with participants will be encouraged.
Demo 3 - Strategic Dialogue in the First Session - Giorgio Nardone, Ph.D.
In the Advanced Model, the first session has a fundamental importance because it embraces the first stage of therapy (definition of the problem, perceptive-reactive system and objectives) and the second stage of therapy (reframing and unblocking of the problem). This is carried out by strategic dialogue which will be presented in this demonstration.
Educational Objectives:
- To identify two implied relationship messages given by distressed couples.
- To describe how to use pertinent client information for formulating a focus in the therapy.
- To describe the use of strategic dialogue to reframe rigid perceptions.
