- Short Description:
- Watzlawick challenges the assumption that insight into the past is the key to change. He explores how insight can sometimes reinforce dysfunction rather than resolve it. Drawing from Ericksonian methods and constructivist theory, he presents alternatives such as reframing, behavior prescriptions, and planned chance events. The address offers a compelling look at how therapists can shift client realities by speaking their language and disrupting unhelpful patterns in the present.

- Short Description:
- This panel explores the philosophical foundations of psychotherapy, from existentialism to Eastern traditions. Speakers reflect on how philosophy informs clinical thinking, with discussions on freeing clients from cultural constraints, resisting the over-medicalization of therapy, and using constructivist and existential lenses to deepen practice. Topics include Nietzsche’s influence, the ethics of managed care, and the relevance of quantum and Eastern philosophies in understanding the self. Moderated by Carol Kershaw, EdD.

- Short Description:
- This conversation explores the therapeutic power of stories, metaphors, and analogies to foster understanding and change. Topics include paradoxical techniques—like a therapist claiming ineffectiveness to motivate a client—and the role of nonlinear causality and circular feedback in client dynamics. The session also examines working with eating disorders, engaging client worldviews (including religious beliefs), and reframing existential fears within diverse cultural contexts.
