- Thanks to a number of recent studies, there is now solid empirical evidence for what distinguishes highly effective therapists. In this workshop, participants will learn in detail the qualities and practices that separate the great from the good. Participants also will find out about a system of feedback procedures that can be used to develop a profile of their most and least effective moments in therapy - what works and what doesn't. Not only will attendees get a far more exact idea of their clinical strengths and weaknesses and how to use the findings to improve their own practice, but they will also come away with concrete tools that will immediately boost clinical abilities and effectiveness.

- Short Description:
- The notion of a relational or transpersonal "field" is an important emerging concept in Brief Therapy. A "field" is a type of space or energy produced by relationships and interactions in a system that often holds deeper, more archetypal information. It is similar to what Gregory Bateson referred to as a "larger mind" and "the pattern which connects." This workshop will explore methods to recognize and work with such fields as part of a Brief Therapy session.
