Since 1990 the Center for Integrative Psychotherapy has been offering 1-, 2-, or 3-day continuing education seminars to licensed mental health professionals. The Center’s commitment to offering the highest quality clinical teaching is based on the following principles:
- Each seminar gives a clear, updated overview of the best of what is currently known in a given clinical area, including the latest developments, innovations, and future directions.
- The seminars offer an integrative approach to treatment that represents an integration of psycho-dynamic/exploratory, developmentally-informed, cognitive-behavioral/skill-based, systemic, and hypnotherapeutic approaches, along with recent developments in positive psychology.
- Each seminar offered is regularly updated so as to offer participants the state-of-the-art in a given clinical area.
- The primary emphasis is learning practical clinical methods and techniques in a way that participants can immediately apply to their on-going clinical practice. Learning is by live demonstration or video review illustrating the clinical methods, and/or actual practice, supported in each case by detailed handouts that describe the clinical procedures in a step-by-step manner and also illustrates the wording of the clinical methods. For 25 years the Center offered about a dozen live clinical training courses each year, but is currently transitioning to recorded Continuing Education seminars. Over the past two decades I have developed and offered 40 new clinical seminars in the following areas:
