Two complementary therapeutic viewpoints within the field define the fundamental principles of most clinical approaches. One is that shifting the client's attention away from a preoccupation with the problem and focusing on personal resources and nonproblematic areas of life is the best avenue to change. The other is that connecting "to and through" the problem is pivotal to change, and that the problem's resolution is crucial to the client's development. In this workshop, we'll consider the strengths and limitations of both therapeutic meta-strategies, and how to determine which broad approach best suits any particular client. We'll explore a range of therapeutic techniques, from solution-oriented methods to mindfulness practices and Ericksonian hypnosis, to show how to expand your clinical repertoire and better customize your treatment model. (This session will continue with Workshop 311.)
