Confronting Death and Other Existential Issues in Psychotherapy - 2 CPD Hours

Weaving together fascinating tales from his own clinical practice with wisdom from the great philosophers, Dr Yalom illuminates the existential perspective and how it can be skillfully utilised to enliven the psychotherapeutic encounter. Starting with the premise that “therapy is a synergy of powerful ideas and a powerful, intimate connection” he shares those ideas that he has found most useful in his life and work, as well as ways to leverage the therapeutic relationship for maximum growth.

If you want to take your clinical work to a deeper level and help your patients come to terms with the ultimate concerns of human existence, there’s no better guide in navigating this terrain than Irvin Yalom.

By watching this video, you will:

• Learn how to recognize the presence of death anxiety in your patients, and learn techniques to not only alleviate their excessive anxiety, but to truly enhance their lives.
• Understand how to apply an existential perspective to any psychotherapy approach.
• Identify ways to utilize the here-and-now of the therapeutic relationship to help clients gain a deeper understanding of their interpersonal world.

Training Calendar for April-May 2018

Here at SDS we are delighted that the sun has finally appeared, albeit a little later than we would have liked!

We are very much looking forward to the BPS Approved courses we have coming up next month and here’s a brief overview for you.

The ever popular 3 day CBT Introductory course, is taking place in Glasgow on the 1st- 3rd May. If you’ve never taken this course, it’s a fantastic opportunity to do so in Scotland, but places are selling fast and it’s nearly full, so if you want to book – do it now!

Working with Social Anxiety 17th-18th May in London.

Social Anxiety Disorder, also called Social Phobia, is a long-lasting and overwhelming fear of social situations. It's a common problem that usually starts during the teenage years. For some people it gets better as they get older, but for many it doesn't go away on its own.

It can be extremely distressing and have a huge negative impact on someone’s life, but there are ways that you can help your clients deal with it.

Take at the look at how you can equip yourself with the tools to help them by following the link above.

Mindfulness 24th – 25th May London or via Live Interactive Webcast.

This fantastic course, with Dr Fiona Kennedy is part of the Certificate in Third Wave CBT, but is also extremely valuable as a singular module.

Mindfulness represents both a state of being as well as a technique. This two day course provides you with practice opportunities of different types of mindfulness, as well as outlines a context within which different third wave approaches incorporate and conceptualise mindfulness: from Compassionate Mindfulness, through Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy to developing mindfulness as an alternative skill to emotional avoidance.

As it’s being run via webcast, if you’re too busy on the date of the training – all webcast attendees are given 28 days to catch up via a recording. Join from the comfort of your own home, at your leisure. You can still qualify for your CPD hours and obtain your certificate!

Looking ahead to the second half of the year we have the BPS Approved Certificate in Trauma Treatments. This full certificate course was so popular last year, we are bringing it to you once again, in London and via webcast.

The BPS Approved Certificate in Trauma Treatments consists of 4 modules  over 8 training days that can be booked together or separately as individual courses. The course is designed to provide both an up-to-date theoretical overview of a selection of trauma treatment approaches along with their practical application within a range of practice environments. Here are the full details of all the training modules.

We look forward to working with you.

Socratic Questioning with Dr Fiona Kennedy - 30% OFF!

Despite the origins being nearly 2,500 years old, Socratic Questioning in therapy generally, and specifically in CBT remains somewhat a mystery to many practitioners. Socratic Questioning is based on the practice of disciplined and thoughtful dialogue that, on the first sight, appears simple, but in fact is intensely rigorous. Despite lots of references to SQ as a cornerstone of cognitive therapy (C.Padesky, 1993), there is very little, almost nothing, written about it and how to conduct it. This DVD set is an attempt to give practitioners clear explanation of the SQ process and guidance about its use. It also comes with 30% OFF the registered price! Log in to see the VIP discounts for all Dr Kennedy’s DVDs throughout March.

This week’s DVD offers have been carefully selected and include something a little different. Take a look!

HARNESSING THE POWER OF GENOGRAMS IN PSYCHOTHERAPY Includes - 2 CPD Hours - £10.00 OFF for 24 hours only!
http://www.psychotherapydvds.com/Harnessing-the-Power-of-Genograms-in-Psychotherapy

A rare opportunity to watch the therapist who developed and popularized genograms, demonstrate how to actually create and utilize them in a therapy session. You will see Monica McGoldrick in action as she masterfully conducts an initial interview with a new client, demonstrating the step-by-step process of gathering historical information, creating the genogram, and contextualizing the client’s presenting problem within a multigenerational family systems framework.

John is a 39-year-old African-American graphic designer who is having marital problems. Mystified and distressed by his pattern of distancing from his wife who is six months pregnant, he desperately wants to understand why he is pulling away. McGoldrick’s focused interest in John’s family story gently guides him in a thorough investigation of the social and historical context of his current struggles. With McGoldrick as an ally, John makes fascinating discoveries as he uncovers surprising coincidences, poignant tragedies and inspiring sources of resilience.

Watching McGoldrick engage a client in exploring the connection between his presenting problem and his family-of-origin issues is a treat in and of itself, but a bonus feature of this video is following McGoldrick’s step-by-step creation of John’s genogram on the spot. It makes for a compelling and highly educational experience.

Learn how to:
- Utilize the genogram to place clients’ presenting problems in a historical and social context.
- Respond when a client resists exploring family issues.
- Explain to clients why exploring family background is relevant.
