- 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.

They debate when transparency, advocacy, and political awareness may be appropriate, especially in family therapy and work with personality disorders, highlighting the evolving role of the therapist as both healer and engaged citizen.

How does one achieve an efficient communication? How many types of communication are there? What are the implications of each kind of communication? How can one use communication in psychotherapy and hypnotherapy? how would Erickson use the so-called informal trance and hypnosis? The answers to these questions raise other questions that are relevant; how much can be understood when one understands communication?

- Short Description:
- Improvisational theater is a useful component in brief therapeutic approaches. It can be used for different therapeutic purposes. One important goal to be achieved is the patient's development of a healthier body perception as well as their natural recognition and expression of sensual feelings. In this context, the use of improvisational theater elements helps to connect with forgotten or hidden resources of abused women with multiple trauma symptoms. By absorbing the patient's unconscious mind in a state of creative, sensual energy the patient's potential is utilized and can serve as a powerful catalyst to energize their own healing resources.

In this experiential workshop, therapists will learn ways to successfully interweave somatic awareness techniques to facilitate their ability to listen and respond to their embodied emotions. A variety of exercises from acting techniques will be taught that promote body language for communication avoiding cognitive processes to utilize the creative resources and to improve flexibility through self-exploration and self-expression.

As we describe in the new book, Creative Therapy in Challenging Situations: Unusual Interventions to Help Clients (Hoyt & Bobele, 2019), such YSW?! interventions are particularly useful and effective when approaching unusual client problems.
