Class 1- 10:00am – 1:00pm

To Disclose or Not Disclose, That is the Ethical Question! (3 CEUs, Ethics)

 

The therapeutic relationship can be enhanced by the rapport the therapist has with their client.  Yet some clients are easier to connect with than others. Can self-disclosure help with rapport building? Can self-disclosure help the therapeutic relationship or does it just lead down a slippery ethical slope?

This interactive training will explore these questions and more. Participants will look at our own personal values, examine case vignettes and explore how transference and counter transference can affect the efficacy of the therapeutic relationship. (Trainer, Tzipora Frager, LCSW-C, Johns Hopkins Out Patient Clinic, Health Behavioral Specialist)

 

 

Class 2 –  1:45PM – 4:45pm

Solution Focused Brief Therapy and its uses in Treating Trauma (3 CEUs, Trauma) 

Solutions-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) principles have been used to effectively treat a wide range of problems. SFBT has applications that are even effective in working with victims of trauma. Unlike classical psychotherapists, SFBT practitioners don’t go looking at a client’s past to search for the root of the problem. Instead they ask a series of questions. They help their clients find out what is going right and build on those successes. In fact SFBT may have a lower likelihood of re-traumatizing clients than other therapy methods. 

This interactive training will familiarize you with the principles of SFBT and help you understand the implications of this highly effective therapy in working with clients including those who have a history of trauma. (Trainer, Jeffrey Davidson, LCSW-C, LICSW, Director CE You!)

 

*Evening Ethics*

 

Class 3 – 5:30pm – 8:30pm

The Change Ethic! (3 CEUs, Ethics)

Why does change seem so hard? What can we learn about change from alligators, elephants, and a Code of Ethics?One of the most basic ethical principles of the helping professions is that clinicians need to assist clients in realizing their capacity to change. While this ethical principle goes to the very core of practice, practitioners often find themselves at a loss when working with “resistant” clients.

This interactive training will examine the obligation to help clients change and teach effective methods to achieving this ethical obligation. (Trainer Jeffrey Davidson LCSW-C, LICSW)
