Description:

This workshop will explore the expanding role of creativity in the treatment of resistance.  It will integrate Erickson’s resistance protocol with principles from physics and classical music composition theory.  Five major components of Erickson’s protocol: validation, the experience of failure, motivation, the conscious/unconscious polarity, and the experience of uncertainties with respect to the lessening of the patient’s defenses will be integrated with the concepts of mass, momentum, motion, position, time, creative repetition and harmony.

Educational Objectives:

  1. Identify five major components in the treatment of resistance.
  2. Identify three ways creativity can play a significant role in the treatment of resistance.
