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

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?

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.
Saturday Workshops
421 The Power of Persuasion: Social Psychology in the Consulting Room
Bill O’Hanlon
Saturday Morning Only
Behavioral economists and social psychologists have produced a vast body of research on how to sway people to buy things . . .
orvote for politicians by using factors that are completely below their radar. Why shouldn’t clinicians use strategies based on this knowledge to promote therapeutic change? In this workshop, you’ll learn how to apply three such strategies in a clinical setting: invoking the power of the crowd (such as telling people that two-thirds of clients get better in therapy); contextual priming (using certain kinds of stimuli to “prime” people to behave in ways or hold beliefs unconnected to the original stimulus); and loss aversion (capitalizing on our need to win). By the close of the workshop, you’ll know how to apply a set of powerful techniques to gently but effectively nudge your clients in a new direction.
Bill O’Hanlon, M.S., travels and teaches internationally and has written or cowritten 31 books. His most recent is Quick Steps to Resolving Trauma. Sign up for his e-mail newsletter to get a free copy of his book A Lazy Man’s Guide to Success.
