Skilled brief therapists just ask miracle questions or scaling questions. They must know how to ask questions in ways that do not undermine client motivation.
IC01 Short Course 20 - The Ericksonian Hypnotherapeutic Relationship and Affect Regulation - Sietze Van Der Heide, PsyD
The exchange of emotions in the clinical relationship is an essential aspect of the therapeutic
process. Since affect is exchanged between the client and therapist at the conscious and
unconscious level, Ericksonian techniques are well suited to facilitating the affective change
process. This workshop will integrate contemporary models of affect regulation with
Ericksonian hypnotherapy. The emphasis will be on applied techniques aimed at increasing the
client's tolerance and capacity for utilization of affect.

Topical Panel 11 from the Evolution of Psychotherapy 2000 - Role of Therapist/Role of Client
Featuring Claudia Black, PhD, James F.T. Bugental, PhD, Bert Hellinger, MA, Dipl. Psych., and Otto Kernberg.
Moderated by W. Michael Munion, MA.
This workshop will attempt to describe certain common factors that, in my opinion, are present in all forms of effective psychotherapy. Examples will be presented and discussed.
Existential psychotherapy is more properly viewed as a therapy informed by a sensibiity to existential issues, rather than as a discrete, self-contained school of therapy. It addresses the anxiety embedded in our consciousness of the parameters of existence, especially in our confrontation with death, meaninglessness, freedom, and isolation. I shall discuss these concerns, particularly those with the greatest relevance to everyday therapy practice. I shall discuss the implications of the existential sensibility for the conduct of therapy and the therapeutic relationship. Genuineness and authenticity are necessary.
