Expanding the Repertoire of Therapy with Children and Families - 2 Day Linked Course
Jim Wilson is a Consultant Family Therapist with Gwent Health Care Trust, Wales, a Consultant Psychotherapist with Foster Care Associates and Co-Director of Partners for Collaborative Solutions.
Course Objectives
This workshop will explore and illustrate a range of possibilities for therapists and practitioners to widen their scope in order to engage both children and adults more effectively as active participants. The focus will be on the therapist’s manoeuvrability and capacity for respectful provocation.
The workshop will be relevant to practitioners and therapists interested in expanding and challenging the limits of their practice with adults and children.
Illustration of practice modes, skills exercises and discussion will be used and examples may include the following:
• Stepping outside our comfort zones of familiar practice
• Therapy as "workshop"; Family Focus Days and other engaging and seriously playful approaches
• Modes and illustrations of Systemic Focused Drama to bring action to words
• Repositioning practices to bring movement and spontaneity to "stuck" practice
• Spontaneity and planning in story making
• Introduction to "Scales for Improvisational Systemic Practice" - a guide to reflection in action.
