Description

Description:

The American novelist William Faulkner stated, "The Past is never dead. In fact, it is not even past." This presentation emphasizes the unconventional use of reality therapy that connects the past with the presents by helping clients realize that their current behaviors are normal responses to abnormal situations that they have experienced. It also operationalizes the Ericksonian principle: "The solution often appears unrelated to the problem." The core of this session is a simulated demonstration illustrating a cluster of possible interventions focusing on the WDEP system of reality therapy. W indicates wants and perceptions. D searches for behaviors: actions, cognitions and emotions. E emphasizes implicit and explicit self-evaluation whereby the therapist assists clients to conduct a fearless inventory of helpful and hurtful behaviors. The P represents treatment planning based on at least 5 motivators identified in the underlying theory of reality therapy. The resulting client change culminates from having "seeded the plan" that takes place, especially through a detailed discussion of clients' self-evaluations. Participants will gain practical, usable skills immediately implementable in their therapeutic relationships - skills that can be integrated into other theories and methodologies.

Educational Objectives:

  1. Demonstrate one intervention that helps clients see the connection between past trauma and current behavior in a more positive light.
  2. List 2 interventions that are pre-requisites for effective treatment planning.
  3. Describe how reality therapy interventions can be efficacious for “seeding the plan” that leads to positive client change.
