Intensive Structural Therapy (IST) is a powerful, positive model of psychotherapy that sees a person's presenting problem as being maintained by their current social context. By restructuring and recontextualizing family systems, therapists can profoundly change the way families function. In doing so, we transform the selves of individual family members...Over the years, Dr Fishman came to see a need for the Structural Family Therapy model to be broadened to address resources in the patient’s contemporary context to create and maintain change. In this workshop, Dr Fishman will discuss the basics of IST and applications to a variety of presenting issues.
He will also do a live session in the afternoon.
