At the Intersection of Depth Psychology & Self Care: An Alternate New Lens on Motivational Interviewing


Dr. Maxine Langdon Starr

Participants will be able to further understand and have greater sophistication about the bridge between these three main ideas of Hermeneutics, Depth Psychology, and Self Care; and how these ideas inform the principles of Motivational Interviewing; which will be expanded upon during the initial presentation; to then be experienced in a workshop style discussion later on. This will then impact their overall professional growth within their therapy room(s) as they take these ideas back to how they interact with their clients and reflect upon these concepts as they relate to their own development and experiential lens.


Hermeneutics

  • Research methodology that encompasses “the art of understanding” (Thiselton, 2009, pp. 2-3).
  • Take into account the meaning(s) that one may assign to a text, voice passage, or in our case, therapy session and meaning(s) that a therapist may consciously and/or unconsciously assign to a client(s) narrative.

Depth Psychology

  • Began with Freud (of course) but Jung brought another layer of meaning to the discussion
  • Deals with the unconscious & what is not being said in treatment (both on part of client and especially therapist)
  • Uses principles outside the “typical” norm of therapy to inform the therapeutic process (e.g., myth, religion, spirituality, history, greater societal context(s))

Self-Care

  • No one understands that taking care of what cannot be seen (AKA not just from a medical, empirically scientific point of view) is a critical step in healthcare more than therapists do.
  • How much self-care are we doing for ourselves; and if we are not, then how can we expect our clients to be motivated for change?
  • “Motivational interviewing respects patient self-determination, acknowledges patient autonomy, and recognizes that it is the patient who must decide whether and how to change behaviors” (McCarthy, 2009, p. 413).
  • Developing a discrepancy between current behaviors & future goals is key to supporting client self-efficacy in improvement of self-care domains.

Motivational Interviewing

  • Originally conceived as a brief, evidence based therapy intervention
  • Recent research has focused on the spirit of motivational interviewing, which:

“Encourages subjective interpretation of how to emulate concepts such as partnership, acceptance, compassion, and evocation” (Crawford, J. I., 2016, p. 54).

  • Embedded within the definition of motivational interviewing is the goal to enhance motivation to change via resolution of ambivalence (Miller & Rollnick, 2013; as also stated in Crawford, J.I., 2016).
  • This grappling with ambivalence directly ties back into one of the primary conflicts (most likely unconscious) that many clients are presenting within the therapeutic context and may be unknowingly hindering their ability to meet their self-expressed goals.

Objectives:

  • 1. Understand at least 3 innovative ways that depth psychology, hermeneutics, and principles of self-care apply to motivational interviewing
  • 2. Apply at least 3 principles of hermeneutics as they relate to working with clients from a motivational interviewing perspective
  • 3. Apply at least 2 principles of depth psychology as they relate to working with clients from a motivational interviewing perspective
  • 4. Recognize at least 2 ways their own inner communication may influence communication in therapy and thus have some common threads to self-care and therapist personal development.

Bio:

A NOTE FROM YOUR WEBMISTRESS:

We experienced a few hiccups last month when trying to implement our new seminar automated system.  The online evaluation process went very smoothly but we ran into some problems when sending out the certificates.  Please accept our sincere apology for any inconvenience or confusion this caused.

We have now identified and corrected the issues that were causing the problem and we're  confident it will go very well at this month's event and beyond.  We would like to ask that you fill out the online seminar evaluation form promptly following the seminar so that we can minimize the amount of time spent ensuring the delivery of your certificates.

Thank you so much for your patience and understanding as we make this transition.

EMDR: healing unprocessed memories that create disturbance and dysfunction

Nicole Serrano, LMFT

Summary:

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing) is a theoretical orientation that has become widely known or heard of in our profession; however many are still confused by what the theory is about and how it works. In this presentation, we explored what EMDR is and how it works, debunked myths, and clarified information on how EMDR is used today and where the research is going in the future. We looked at the theoretical orientation’s eight phases of treatment (client history and treatment planning, client preparation, assessment, desensitization, installation, body scan, closure, and reevaluation); the protocols (past, present, future, and recent event) and forms of bilateral stimulation (eye movement, taps, tones). We explored Dr. Francine Shapiro’s AIP (adaptive information processing) model which is the framework in which the eight phases and past, present, and future protocols are worked through.  We reviewed options on how to become trained and/or certified in EMDR, and resources to learn more. In the end, professionals had a better grasp on what EMDR is, who would be a good candidate for it, and how to refer a client to a professional trained or certified in EMDR and how to seek training in EMDR.  

With this training, the educational goal was to clinically obtain a better understanding of the EMDR theoretical orientation to be able to identify appropriate client candidates for treatment and understand how to seek appropriate training in EMDR. 

  • Definition and overview of history of EMDR
  • Overview of EMDR Adaptive Information Processing model
  • 8 phases of treatment
  • 3 pronged protocols
  • BLS forms
  • Appropriate clients for EMDR (ages, populations, diagnosis)
  • How to explain EMDR to a client
  • How to refer a client to an EMDR therapist
  • Recognizing signs that a client will need an EMDR therapist specializing in dissociation and/ or parts work.
  • EMDR Resources
  • Where to find more information on EMDR and its research
  • Where to become trained in EMDR (and difference in trained vs certified)
  • Information on various protocols for specialized treatment (chronic pain, dissociation/ parts work, addiction, couples, first responders, military, performance enhancement , Children)

Learning Objectives:

1. Define EMDR therapy and identify the 8 phases of treatment

2. List 3-pronged protocol  

3. List 3 forms of bilateral stimulation  

4. Identify 4 resources to obtain more information on EMDR and training opportunities.
