Morning
Advanced Empathy: Responding therapeutically to people who express
disturbing beliefs – Facilitated by Dr Richard Lakeman
Empathic communication is the foundation of psychotherapy and an
essential ingredient to developing a therapeutic alliance with people.
It is the therapeutic alliance which tends to have the greatest impact
on outcomes, even more so than technique in almost all kinds of
therapy. This workshop will introduce the concept of empathy; what it
is and how it can be communicated in a genuine, congruent way. A model
of therapeutic engagement will then be extended to people who may
express bizarre, disturbing or delusional ideas. Participants will
have the opportunity to practice skills which will assist in
maintaining a therapeutic alliance with people who may from time to
time experience altered states of reality, psychosis or express
beliefs which might alienate themselves from others.
Afternoon
Writing the problem formulation – Facilitated by Richard Lakeman
This brief workshop is an introduction to the practical art of
developing and writing mental health formulations which are grounded
in the lived experience of the person and demonstrate the application
of research and theory. Such formulations are helpful in demonstrating
a critical understanding of the application of research and theory
(required in graduate study) but they can also form the foundation of
genuinely effective treatment and care.
1630 The delivery of focused psychological strategies in routine care
– Facilitated by Dr Mary Emeleus
This experiential workshop will explore a range of simple and focused
psychological strategies that can be helpful to enhance mental health
and wellbeing. These may be incorporated into routine care delivery as
well as to improve one’s own mental health.
