By Rich Simon As therapists, many of us practice in two different worlds. In the first, we see polite, well-behaved, articulate clients with solid values. They engage fully in therapy, talk cogently about their problems, listen attentively to our responses, make reasonably good-faith efforts to follow our suggestions, and sooner or later get better. No wonder we genuinely like these people! Does This Kid Need Medication? with Ron Taffel
Meds: Myths and Realities: NP0035 – Session 3
Do you feel like you could be a more effective therapist with your younger clients? Do you find it hard to determine when interventions--psychological and pharmacological--might be needed? Join Ron Taffel and learn to identify key diagnostic signs that indicate medications could be helpful when dealing with depression, anxiety, AD/HD, and affective disorders. After the session, please let us know what you think. If you ever have any technical questions or issues, please feel free to email support@psychotherapynetworker.org.
Friday Workshops
219 Crossing the Bridge: Helping Partners Visit Each Other's World
Jette Simon
Friday Morning Only
Like walking a tightrope, working with troubled couples requires focus, balance, and inner stability. . .
Both partners want you to take their side, and it’s easy to be pulled in one direction or the other sometimes, or to be swallowed up by the intense emotionality of sessions. In this workshop, you’ll learn how to use Imago Relationship Therapy principles to connect with both partners, grasp their issues, and transform the emotional temperature of the session from one of antagonism to one of openness and empathy. We’ll explore mirroring and validation techniques. We’ll discuss how couples can use voice tone to produce nonverbal shifts in mood and emotional response and learn to validate each other even when they disagree. We’ll also touch on insights from attachment theory, interpersonal neurobiology, and mindfulness practice related to couples therapy.
Jette Simon, Lic., conducts basic and advanced training programs in Imago Relationship Therapy, is the director of the Washington, D.C. Institute for Couples Therapy, and is a Senior Clinical Instructor for IMAGO International. She’s the author of Imago: The Therapy of Love.
