This two-day intensive course is limited to 45 participants and provides a hands-on opportunity to see and try narrative therapy in a small group setting led by David Epston, internationally known innovator of the narrative approach to psychotherapy. The workshop presents an opportunity for participants to take their narrative therapy work to the next level. What direction is best to take in narrative therapy conversations? Where might a therapist get stuck? Where might a therapist run out of questions? Didactic presentations, specific experiential exercises, as well as "internalized other" interviews are employed in the training. BBSE Credit: 12 CEU's.

  International summer school of narrative practice

Adelaide, South Australia

Over 4 days and evenings (Wednesday- Saturday) we are planning a smorgasbord of skills-based narrative therapy practice sessions. A range of international presenters will join Dulwich Centre Faculty members in creating a context for the exploration and practice of therapeutic skills. Each day will begin with a practice-based keynote before participants select whole day practice seminars on a range of different themes. Throughout the day there will also be opportunities for practitioners to consult faculty members for individual and group supervision sessions; to meet with publishers and writers over ways of representing their work in a written form; and to watch and reflect with others on videotapes of therapy sessions by a range of respected narrative therapists. In the evenings, apart from gathering over South Australian wines and revelling in the summer atmosphere, we will also be arranging evening talks on broader themes which are nonetheless related to narrative practice, practice, practice! We are really looking forward to this summer school and a chance to have Dulwich Centre filled with practitioners dedicated to talking about the nitty-gritty of therapeutic practice and ways of further developing skills.
