This workshop presents an overview of the search for maximizing health and well-being in everyday life from Charcot and Janet to Freud, Jung, and Erickson. Attendees will/earn practical therapeutic approaches that therapists can use on themselves as well as with their patients.
This workshop will offer concepts and demonstrations which will help therapists best pay attention to the transition points between now and next. A continuing sense of "sequential rightness" may sweep patients into open mindedness and to an increased range of otherwise inhibited therapeutic options.
This workshop centers around a videotaped conversation Dr. Szasz had with a young man diagnosed as "schizophrenic" at a major medical center. The conversation effectively demonstrates that "schizophrenia is in the eye of the beholder. "
