This is a group case exchange with emphasis on depth psychology and psychodynamic perspectives. This is the first of several such stand-alone discussions. Each will require a separate enrollment and will offer additional hours. The days will be numbered to indicate different content. They do not need to be done in sequence.
This program is designed to meet the upcoming California Board of Psychology Continuing Professional Development requirement for a second format. This day only counts as Peer Consultation hours. Unlike our other offerings, it is not a sponsored CE class.
We will be engaging in structured and organized live online interaction focused on clinical situations. Attendee questions about their own cases will be given priority. Clips from depictions of therapy, such as the In Treatment series will be studied. We will consider parallels between cases and initiatory journey tales from myth, literature, and film.
This is an opportunity to interact with professional colleagues to gain greater understanding of the nuances of treatment. The purpose of this time together is to broaden professional knowledge and expertise, reduce professional isolation, and directly inform the work of the psychotherapist.
This activity is focused on maintaining, developing, and increasing conceptual and applied competencies that are relevant to clinical practice or training. These skills include navigating the therapist's own emotional reactions to complicated situations.
This day is not supervision. Content goes beyond the level of exploration and theoretical discussion provided in such earlier mentoring experiences. Focus will include Jungian and archetypal perspectives.
This program would mainly be of interest to psychologists renewing under the new CPD model.
Note: Participants are encouraged to email a disguised 100-300 word case vignette in advance, but this is not a requirement. Bringing up clinical situations as we go along will also work. Discussion is open to a wide range of theoretical approaches, but Jungian Analytical strategies will be included throughout.
Each day meets 6 hours of the California Board of Psychology Continuing Professional Development option of Peer Consultation. The new Continuing Professional Development (CPD) model may be used now. If your renewal comes up after 1/1/24, it MUST be used Starting then, BOP will be requiring at least two kinds of CPD. REGULAR CE COURSES will be capped. This series provides hours in a second form. Participation in two of these days, plus 24 regular CE hours will meet the new mandate.
This day only counts as Peer Consultation hours. We are considering offering similar content structured as a continuing education class, but that will be at a future time.
Specify two techniques to increase client comfort and trust
Describe how family developmental crises can impact individual treatment
Explain unique contributions of Jungian psychology to clinical work
Identify ways treatment can benefit from discussing therapist mistakes
Name two interventions to consider when dealing with depression
Recognize two behaviors that show respect to culturally different clients
This day only counts as Peer Consultation hours. Unlike our other offerings, it is not a sponsored CE class.
