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.
Thursday Workshops
111 Envisioning the Life You Want
Leslie Cotter
Thursday All-Day
As therapists, we spend so much time attending to and nurturing others that we often overlook our own lives. . .
Using the visual arts, storytelling, theater improvisations, and other arts modalities, we’ll focus on our own visions for the future. Then, using approaches drawn from life-coaching, we’ll develop action plans for making our dreams a reality. Not only will you focus on your strengths, gifts, and possibilities, but you’ll take away skills that can make profound shifts in the way you practice your healing craft. Throughout the day, we’ll emphasize the cultivation of curiosity, the power of deep listening, and the deep nurturance that occurs when we experience moments of shared revelation.
Leslie Cotter, M.D., a psychiatrist and psychotherapist, has extensive experience working creatively with groups. She’s an executive coach for business and nonprofit leaders and group facilitator. She also leads travel/learning programs with her husband, poet David Whyte.
