  Using  Clients'  Personal  Snapshots  and  Family  Photos    

                      to  Improve  Therapy  or  Counselling  Sessions:        

     2-­‐day  Introduction  to  PhotoTherapy  Techniques  

Saturday,  Nov.  7    &    Sunday,  Nov.  8,  2015      •      9  a.m.  to    5  p.m.    •    Vancouver,  Canada  ___________________________________________________________

This   Introductory   Workshop,   taught   by   Canadian   Psychologist   and   Art   Therapist  Judy   Weiser   (considered   the   world   authority   on   PhotoTherapy   Techniques)   is   an  opportunity  to  learn  how  therapy  clients'  own  personal  snapshots,  family  photographs  and  pictures  taken  by  others  —  and  the  feelings,  memories,  and  thoughts  these  evoke  —   can   be   used   to   deepen   and   enhance   therapeutic   communication   in   ways   not  possible  using  words  (or  inner  self-­‐reflection)  alone.      

Learn   how   (and   why!)   to   effectively   and   successfully   incorporate   photo-­‐based  interventions   into   your   own   therapy   or   counselling   practice   —   and   then   directly  experience   the   power   of   these   techniques,   by   participating*   in   several   guided  practice  sessions  with  some  of   the  more   important  of   these   (for  which  participants  will  receive  an    "Advance  Homework  Assignment"  regarding  which  photos  to  bring).  

 Important:    

  Participation  in    these  exercises  is  voluntary;    Workshop  is  for  the  purpose  of  professional  education,  not  personal  therapy  

                                      Prior  experience  with  cameras  or  photographic  art  is  not  required  

Open  to  everyone  interested,  including  students       (but  non-­‐therapists  must  receive  Weiser's  pre-­‐approval  to  register)    

Cost:    before  Oct.  20:    $299  —  on/after  Oct.  20:    $339  (A  small  number  of  student  discounts  are  available;  contact  Weiser  to  apply)  

 CEU/CEC  Credits  will  be  available  for  a  small  extra  fee  to  Mental  Health  Professionals  attending
