IPt & the installation of hope
friday June 16, 2023 15:00- 16:30
SESSION DESCRIPTION
Hope is a key part of the change process, and the instillation of hope has long been recognized as a common factor across established psychotherapies, including IPT. Hope may be an even more critical part of our clinical work in this time of great unease as our world faces climate change, political division, wars, continued COVID strain, and more.
In this workshop, we will discuss the importance of hope and share strategies for instilling hope within an interpersonal framework. We will also explore how we might cultivate and protect our own sense of hope as IPT clinicians seeking to provide great clinical care within often challenging contexts and systems.
