IC07 Short Course 04 - Ericksonian Approaches for the Treatment of Enuresis in Children - Maria Escalante, MA

Description:

Ericksonian psychotherapy emphasizes the utilization of our resources. When I treat children with enuresis, I focus on resources and keep in mind that Ericksonian interventions should be brief because children may get tired of being in therapy for too long. Techniques tailored to a child and examples of inductions such as eye fixation utilizing toys will be presented. I will emphasize how to make several brief interventions quickly while utilizing "non human co-therapists" during home assignments, and the combination of conversational trance with tasks.

Educational Objectives:

1. To describe three simple techniques for creating brief interventions for treating children's enuresis.
2. Given an enuresis case, describe a brief intervention.
