INTRODUCTION
The workshop is designed to build theoretical understanding and clinical skills from the perspective of contemporary Gestalt psychotherapy. Experiential and interactive, the workshop aims to integrate theory with practice through the modalities of creative arts. The emphasis will be on individual psychotherapy and the application of Gestalt therapy principles represented in the works of Violet Oaklander, Ph.D., author of Windows to Our Children; A Gestalt Approach to Child and Adolescent Psychotherapy (1989) and Hidden Treasure; A Map to the Child's inner Self (2007).
This workshop will examine closely factors that bring about change and growth for a child or adolescent through the therapeutic process of Gestalt Therapy and the processes of integration. Utilizing the modalities of play therapy and the integration of contemporary neurobiology and Gestalt Therapy, participants will develop in-depth understanding of the Oaklander Approach. Working in pairs or small groups, participants will have opportunities for group consultation and practice.
