DATE of Padesky-Mooney Workshop Wednesday, July 17, 2019 from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm TITLE In the Face of Adversity Build Resilience with Strengths-Based CBT PRE-CONGRESS WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION In the face of adversity, even the strongest among us sometimes find it hard to stay resilient. Some people have never felt resilient. In this workshop, Padesky & Mooney teach a 4-step protocol to help clients build a personal model of resilience (PMR). Their protocol and model are easily integrated with classic CBT approaches and other evidence-based therapies. Drawing on the principles of Strengths-Based CBT (Padesky & Mooney, 2012), six key methods are highlighted: (1) how to identify and integrate strengths into CBT, (2) guided discovery approaches used to elicit a personal model of resilience, (3) the timing and rationale for therapeutic smiling, (4) use of imagery and metaphor, (5) the importance of silence for fostering client creativity, and (6) debriefing behavioral experiments through a resiliency lens. Clinical demonstrations, structured participant role plays, and question & answer segments clarify the theory, rationale, methods and application of a PMR. Common therapy pitfalls are identified along with recommended alternative approaches.
Together, Drs. Padesky and Mooney co-developed Strengths-based CBT (CBT-SB) Their creative partnership is at the core of all their individual, joint and collaborative work projects since 1981.
*ACTION ITEM*
Participants are strongly encouraged to download and read Padesky & Mooney’s 2012 article before attending the workshop. (CLICK HERE FOR PDF REPRINT). Greater familiarity with this material will foster increased depth of workshop learning (i.e., the more you know, the more you will learn).
KEY LEARNING OBJECTIVES
1. Identify areas of client strengths that relate to resilience
2. Practice guided discovery methods to elicit client-generated metaphors for resilience
3. Build a personal model of resilience (PMR)
4. Apply a personal model of resilience (PMR) to create win-win responses for acute and chronic life challenges
IMPLICATIONS FOR EVERYDAY CLINICAL PRACTICE OF CBT
This strengths-based approach can be integrated within all forms of evidence-based psychotherapy practice. Just a few sessions is required to boost client awareness and practice of resilience. In addition, there is evidence from pilot research (Victor, Teismann, & Willutzki, 2017) that this 4-step model to build resilience can be used as a brief (3 session) independent intervention to build resilience, self-esteem and well-being and reduce the risk of psychopathology in nonclinical populations such as university students.
