[Audio Download] IC19 Workshop 06 – 7 Difficult Cases in the Manner of Dr. Erickson – Eric Greenleaf, PhD

Description:

Utilization of Dr. Erickson's approaches can be daunting. They are both meticulously planned and rehearsed, as with his Induction for Resistant Patients, and spontaneous and intuitive, responding at the moment to his patient. Dr. Greenleaf will present 7 of his own brief cases, each of which required spontaneous, intuitive response to patient needs. They are called: 2 Promises: Postcards, Death Grip; 2 Threats: Bust, “I Like That Wall”; 2 Doorways to Reality: “You Wonned”, “I’d Like to Have That Desk” and "3 Counter Tenors". Discussion will be followed by an exercise intended to help participants respond to difficult problems in their Erickson-influenced practices.

Educational Objectives:

1. Describe a workable approach to suicide threats in therapy.
2. Describe a spontaneous approach to physical threats in therapy.
3. Describe a utilization approach to fantasy expressions in therapy.
