Therapy Boot Camp: Brief, Action-Oriented Treatment of Couples & Families

Friday, May 21, 2021, 11:00 AM – 1:00 PM @ Online ZOOM Presenter: Robert Taibbi CEUs: 2 Like it or not statistics indicate that most couples and families only attend a few sessions of therapy. If you are to be effective, you need to hit the ground running. In this course we’ll discuss how to do exactly that – how to quickly set goals and shape the first session, how to quickly build rapport and assess, how to develop treatment maps for common couple and family presenting problems, how to use homework. We’ll walk through the opening sessions, tell you what to do, but more importantly what not to do. If you are new to couple and family therapy, this will provide a model on which to build. If you are an experienced, you’ll leave feeling challenged and creative. Workshop Objectives: By the end of the workshop, participants will be able to: Describe the 4 essentials of the boot camp approach Define 4 ways of changing the emotional climate in a session Explain the 4 sources of resistance Define Bowen’s differentiated self Describe the role of childhood emotional wounds
