This workshop will show, through a series of clinical demonstrations (using attendees from the workshop as role-players), how Reality Therapy works with different types of clients.
This workshop will demonstrate the clinical application of developmental, self, and object relations theory to psychotherapy with borderline and narcissistic patients - both shorter and longer term. After brief orienting remarks by Dr. Masterson, the participants will present their clinical material for discussion. This material can vary from single interactions to vignettes to longer presentations. Particular attention will be paid to the role of therapeutic neutrality and countertransference. This is a repeat offering of Wednesday's workshop.
Participants should bring dreams, especially those that have animal images in them. Work will consist of using traditional and contemporary Jungian methods of dream-work and active imagination.
A therapy group will be formed from Conference participants, in order to demonstrate what can be accomplished in a single group session. Emphasis will be on establishing therapeutic contracts for change and using the past to effect this change. Discussion and whole-group experiences will follow the therapy demonstration.
This workshop will present cognitive, experiential, and behavioral techniques for helping men and women to realize more of their human potential. There will be special emphasis on personal and work-related male/female relationships and on how to deal with negative reactions to "out of role'' behavior, such as women's assertiveness and men's expressions of intimacy. Live demonstrations will be offered.
This workshop will offer concepts and demonstrations which will help therapists best pay attention to the transition points between now and next. A continuing sense of "sequential rightness" may sweep patients into open mindedness and to an increased range of otherwise inhibited therapeutic options.
Workshop 04 from the Evolution of Psychotherapy 1990 - Fostering Depth in Client Self-Exploration, featuring James FT Bugental, PhD.
It is doubtful any lasting life-changes will result unless clients are able to access their own inner worlds with unusual depth. This workshop - using direct instruction, specific suggestions, and live demonstrations - teaches ways of working for rich inner discovery.
This workshop will address how to elicit and systematically change core beliefs (schemas) with Axis II patients. Topics include the constructive use of transference reactions as a therapeutic tool, and the management of hostility and excessive dependency. The use of imagery and role playing, and the applications of childhood material will be reviewed. A cognitive conceptualization of a case will be given. Ways to handle problems such as missed sessions, prolonging sessions, avoidance, and homework noncompliance will be addressed.
This workshop will demonstrate how the discoveries made in a psychotherapy session can be integrated into the everyday life of the patient through the changing balance between environmental support and self-support.
This workshop will include an informal discussion of 50 years of experience with Dynamic Psychotherapy. Dr. Marmor will evaluate his theoretical and clinical perspectives and present his views on long- and short-term techniques. The role of systems thinking in clinical practice also will be discussed.
