IMAGES When asked to create a simple image on paper,
people often discover much more about themselves than they do in conversation.
Partly, this is because the unfamiliarity of the medium (paper and paint)
bypasses our inhibitions, allowing the unconscious to express various aspects
of itself on paper.
In the first part of this workshop, you will
learn useful art therapy exercises which you will be able to use immediately.
You will be introduced to some basic theory of Art Psychotherapy, but the
workshop will be primarily experiential – so please leave the designer clothes
at home!
Not
only will you learn about using image-making in therapy, but you will be
taking
home some of your very own paintings.
HUMOUR If somehow we can be provoked to 'get' our own
personal inner joke, the joke of how we are sabotaging our own chances of
gaining fulfilment in life, we simply find it hard to continue being the butt
of that joke. There are moments in psychotherapy that cry out for the use of
humour but we need to know how to recognise them and learn to use humour
creatively and safely for the benefit of our clients.
In the second part of this workshop, Dr. Brian
Kaplan, a medical doctor specialising in Provocative
Therapy - the cutting edge in the use of humour and reverse psychology in
psychotherapy - will show how these modalities can be used safely and to
surprising effect in clinical practice. This part of the workshop will also be
mainly experiential and Dr. Kaplan will demonstrate the process live.
An energising, educative &
entertaining day is guaranteed.
