Addictions, Myth and Metaskills – A Practicum
How are addictions mythical and what's the point of knowing the mythical underpinnings of an addiction? How does becoming familiar with the induced altered state of an addiction help me work with my client? In answering these questions we'll review a range of Process-oriented clinical interventions, explore familiar and new metaskills and develop our abilities and awareness through discourse, exercises, case studies and supervision.
