WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION:
Working with difficult-to-engage children can be frustrating and challenging, even for seasoned clinicians. The challenge of working with younger clients in therapy can be further compounded by their fear of entering therapy, their lack of control over the decision to attend therapy, and their developmental capacity which can make it difficult for them to respond to traditional talk-therapy. This webinar will outline innovative strategies for engaging resistant children and teens in therapy.
Learning Objectives:
1.Describe the factors underlying therapeutic resistance.
2.Implement creative interventions to facilitate rapport-building with children and teens.
3.Implement play-based and expressive arts techniques with clients who are reluctant to verbally articulate their thoughts and feelings.
