This workshop will explore the impact of gender, culture, class and race on our clinical practice, and describe techniques for working with clients who are culturally different from ourselves. The workshop will consider the relevance of cultural differences for families even many generations beyond immigration. The issue of stereotyping and emphasizing that everyone is ethnic will be dealt with, rather than approaching culture by focusing on the exotic, esoteric or different characteristics of minorities and new immigrant groups. Professor McGoldrick will demonstrate the use of genograms and family play to address cultural, racial and spiritual legacies and patterns in clinical assessment and intervention -- drawing them, interpreting them and applying them therapeutically.
EP05 Workshop 36 - Growth Games for BEING the Best Therapist - Jeffrey Zeig, Ph.D.
This "playshop" will consist of experiential clinician development exercises. While it is widely agreed that the person of the therapist is central to patient change, there are limited methods for developing the person of the therapist. Dr. Zeig will present a systemic model that can be easily transferred to make therapy and supervision more powerfully experiential.
Using fantasy, remembrances of things past, the present, and how to aim toward and get in the future, every attendee will participate as leader and client in group exercises.
EP05 Workshop 05 - Partnering with Clients to Improve the Process and Outcome of Treatment - Scott Miller, Ph.D.

Miller also will present a simple, valid and reliable method for maximizing the effectiveness and efficiency of treatment based on client feedback about the process and outcome of treatment.

Dreaming is a natural human function from early childhood to late maturity. Beginning with Freud and Jung the practice of clinical psychology centered originally on dream analysis. The importance of dreaming has fallen into neglect in most contemporary therapies. This workshop offers practical cues for working with dreams to benefit participants own techniques, selfknowledge and their client's psychic equilibrium.

We are living in difficult times as the field of psychotherapy faces obstacles that threaten its very existence.

Madanes and Robbins will discuss the trends that we need to reverse and will present strategies to overcome these obstacles.
EP05 Workshop 33 - Imagineering: Helping Clients Find the Path to Change - Robert Dilts

EP05 Workshop 34 - A New Leadership Role for Mental Health Professionals - William Glasser, M.D.
The leadership role in mental health has been assumed by psychiatrists who diagnose mental illnesses that do not exist and treat them with potentially harmful brain drugs. Dr. Glasser will explain that mental health separate from mental illness does exist if we could change from the mental illness model to a new public health model based on mental health. This will allow psychotherapists to assume a leadership role they don't have now.
This workshop will be a presentation of segments of one or two family therapy sessions describing how this model gives invaluable information to guide the practitioner in the development of therapy.
This presentation will be a discussion of existential psychotherapy and of group psychotherapy drawing especially from Yalom's new teaching novel, The Schopenhauer Cure. Dr. Yalom will discuss: the therapist/client relationship from an existential therapy perspective; the practice of existentially oriented psychotherapy using recent clinical cases; the impact of death awareness on the conduct of life; the technique of the group therapist; the selection and preparation of group patients; the relevance of philosophy for therapy; and the case for and against clinical philosophy. Dr. Yalom will sign books after his presentation in the Arena Lobby.
