This is a description.

The experience of feeling stuck is a common hazard of our profession and leaves therapists searching for creative solutions. Clinical creativity is always interactive and inseparable from the imagination and creativity of the clients. It’s easy for therapists to getbogged down in definitions of problems that don’t correspond to clients’ logic. The workshop will look at different ways of breaking through impasses by looking outside the box and changing the frame of reference. In making a creative leap, video tapes will show the use of metaphors, rituals, fantasies, writing and paradoxes.

The educational objectives are listed.

1. To describe how a client’s personal inner logic may run counter to rational solutions.
2. To describe one therapeutic ritual that will change the setting and meaning of a problem.
