• Location: Newport, Isle of Wight PO30, UK
• Type: Courses and workshops
• Branch: AFT Isle of Wight

Description:

This workshop will emphasise a social-relational attempt to keep practice alive in Mental Health and Social Care settings where the endless manufacturing of diagnoses and explanatory theories for problems of living lacks a corresponding appreciation of the skills necessary to create contexts of care, curiosity and competence as the basis of sound “human-ualized” practices. Themes will include;

• Doing what is realistic and negotiable in therapy and family work.
• Expanding the practitioner’s repertoire of possibilities in child and family meetings
• Creating useful connections with clients and patients
• Broadening the range of methods and movement in family sessions.
• Illustrating Possibilist practices in Supervision
• Generating useful dialogue beyond “resistance”, tired explanations, and false certainties, in professional discourse and case meetings

Cost: £50 - lunch included (£45 AFT members, unwaged participants, and group bookings of 5 or more)
