Colleagues:  LCPCM regrets we are still unable to offer our wonderful luncheon and networking opportunities for this year’s Spring Conference. Nevertheless, we planned an informative day to meet your continuing education needs and to keep you abreast of the latest legislative and public policy issues effecting your practice. We hope you will join us.

MORNING PRESENTATION:

A Primer to Adlerian Psychology

Adlerian psychology has not had the recognition in the training institutions that it deserves.  In this workshop, Alyson will introduce the key tenants and some of the therapeutic tools and techniques that you can begin applying in our practice right away.

Learning Objectives:

• A short history of Alfred Adler and his place in the development of modern psychology
• An overview of the unique ways that Adlerians understand human behavior and the core tenants of Adlerian psychology
• Adlerian clinical tools; Lifestyle; Early Recollections, Birth Order, Family Values / Family Atmosphere / Most Memorable Observation and the Miracle Question

AFTERNOON PRESENTATION:

Working with Families of Teens

Alyson will use demonstrations and case studies to bring the morning’s learning to life.  We’ll dig deeper into issues facing teens while they are “adulting” in 2022, and how to support the family during often volatile times.  

Learning Objectives:

• Learn the difference between the DSM -V diagnosis of teen depression and teen anxiety as compared to an Adlerian perspective / case conceptualization
• Understand youth culture and the unique struggles facing teens today
• Discover how influence is more powerful than control with youth
