to Brief Solution-Oriented Therapy
With Mishka Lysack
and David Paré
Date and Time: Thursday, February 26, 2004,
9:00 am – 4:30 pm
Location: Sandy Hill Community Centre (directions)
Admission and Tuition: $115 or $75 for students
(This price includes continental breakfast and a light networking
lunch provided on site.)
Description: Brief approaches to counselling
and therapy are so-called because they are primarily devoted
to building on what works, rather than unraveling and providing
complex interpretations for difficulties that clients face.
Brief practice is collaborative, drawing on client strengths
and resources, and practical: the familiar maxim “if
it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” captures the
pragmatic spirit of this competence-oriented, solution-focused
approach.
This workshop for practitioners new to brief and collaborative
therapies combines a summary of the main theoretical ideas
underlying brief approaches with demonstrations, roleplays,
discussion, and practical handouts. Participants will acquire
new sills and knowledge in:
-
building a collaborative, solution-oriented relationship
-
“goaling” - co-constructing the therapeutic
agenda
-
miracle and scaling questions
-
identifying and expanding on exceptions
-
anticipating and circumventing setbacks
Our programs are adapted to match the clinical and educational
experience of participants. Please contact The Glebe Institute
if you have questions about the fit between your background
and specific programs.
