Workshop Outline: 

The practitioners art is not of technique; it is an art born of authenticity, openness to the present moment and creative improvisation. Therapeutic moments don't "just happen", particularly with adolescent clients. And they most certainly are not the product of a formulaic application of technique. The therapeutic moment grows out of the structured ground of the therapy. The structured ground has at least two critical dimensions: the relational (i.e. the fostering of supportive connections) and the strategic (i.e. assessment of developmental status & formulation of praxis strategy for promoting new development). During this 1 day intensive training programme, we will attend to both the relational and the strategic grounds of adolescent psychotherapy. This training workshop introduces topics such as;This training workshop introduces topics such as;
