In this workshop, you will learn about brief Ericksonian and CBT solutions for children, adolescents and the troubled child in you. I have pioneered these over the last decade during which I have done this type of therapy with children and adolescents on a full-time basis, and trained other clinicians working with this population. There are essentially two methods within each session that you conduct with your child or adolescent client which you will learn to do. These can bring back and begin to use immediately in your practice following this conference.
Cognitive-Behavioral treatment is now pushing further into the confrontational. Participants will learn how to divide and conquer: to interrupt anticipatory anxiety and then to manage physical symptoms using cognitive strategies, paradox, pattern disruption, exposure and interceptive exposure, peeling away their ever-present safety crutches and, the second order change of perceiving panic disorder as a mental game.
This presentation will demonstrate the heuristic value of using a Case Conceptualization Model to inform assessment and treatment decision- making ; the "art of Socratic questioning; a strength-based treatment approach and ways to implement the Core Tasks of psychotherapy. A Constructive Narrative treatment approach that focuses on the nature of the client's "story-telling" features will be highlighted.
