BT14 Dialogue 06 - Activating Creativity in Clients - Stephen Gilligan, PhD and Bill O’Hanlon, MS
Educational Objectives:
Given a topic, describe the differing approaches to psychotherapy, and identify the strengths and weaknesses of each approach.
Most therapy orients to the past. This session will offer an alternative, using "future pull," a method of engaging people in compelling preferred futures and working backwards to the near future to create change in brief therapy.
Many schools of psychotherapy have been derived from the seminal work of Milton H Erickson M.D., including strategic therapy, interactional therapy, NLP and solution focused therapy. In some approaches hypnosis is central; in other approaches hypnosis is more peripheral. This class features two experts personally trained by Dr. Erickson, each of whom approach psychotherapy from somewhat different perspectives. In his approach, Possibility Therapy, Bill O'Hanlon epitomizes the strengths of a solution focused orientation. In his experiential approach, Jeffrey Zeig shades treatment in the direction of developing dramatic reference experiences.
