The experience of feeling “stuck” is a common hazard of our profession and leaves therapists searching for a “creative leap.” This eight session course is designed to help clinicians break through therapeutic impasses and find creative solutions to difficult problems.

Peggy Papp brings her expertise and experience working with individuals, couples and families around the world to demonstrate different ways of thinking “outside the box” to encompass the world of personal meaning.

Through consultations, discussions, experiential exercises, live interviews and video tapes she demonstrates how to understand the unique logic of clients when it defies rational solutions, create therapeutic rituals that change the setting and meaning of the problem and tap into the imagination and creativity of clients through the use of metaphors, symbols and sculpting.

Participants are encouraged to bring in their own cases for consultation. Sessions are scheduled monthly to give participants time to put concepts into clinical practice.
