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.

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.
EP05 Workshop 37 - A Tribute to Steve de Shazer: Originator of the Solution-Focused Brief Therapy Approach - Yvonne Dolan M.A.
This workshop will celebrate the theoretical, technical and clinical contributions of the late Steve de Shazer through video tape, lecture and discussion. It will include a brief preview of material from de Shazer's most recent book, More Than Miracle: The State of the Art of Solution-Focused Brief Therapy which updates the SFBT.
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.
