[Audio] BT10 Workshop 11 – Therapist Sculpting: An Experiential Method to Treat the Mentally Ill – Lilian Borges, MA

Description:Description:

In this workshop we will learn how to provide effective experiential treatment rather than offering didactic information or treatment protocols. We can enter the patient’s phenomenological world — even with the most difficult patients. Lilian Borges will demonstrate an integrative approach that is brief, experiential, phenomenological, and effective. Therapist sculpting allows the therapist attune to the client’s experience; empathize with them; help the client to disengage from the problem; focus on what is important; and help the client discover new possibilities.In this workshop we will learn how to provide effective experiential treatment rather than offering didactic information or treatment protocols.
