IC01 Short Course 15 - Moving beyond victimization - Les Blandino, Jr., LPC, LMFT
The Madanes apology process is an active, respectful and humane approach, which helps those
traumatized by such family injustices as violence and incest begin to heal. Workshop participants
will witness how these powerful interventions have been used with actual cases. Examples
include work with the victim, victimizer, parents and other family members.
All of us are shaped by an essence, the stuff we are made of, the hero within. After drawing up an inventory and statement of the basic heroes that we've integrated and the stories that are the ones of our deep metaphors, we will travel and explore those resources that have contributed to our constructions and our structuration in productive and counterproductive ways. This workshop will offer ways to utilize them in our therapeutic goals for inner change.
IC01 Short Course 17 - The Oral Tradition: An Ericksonian Framework - John Parke, PsyD
This short course will introduce participants to a new framework for Ericksonian therapy drawn
from studies of oral tradition cultures. Members of oral cultures communicate in a style that is
similar to the way Milton H. Erickson performed psychotherapy. This course will introduce
participants to the patterns and habits of oral traditional communication and draw parallels to
Ericksonian work. The workshop includes a storytelling exercise.
