Alternative Approaches to engagement and ways to engage 'difficult' people
Art psychotherapists are frequently asked to work with the ‘hard to engage’. Doing this often means alternative approaches. This course addresses questions like: What are we actually trying to achieve? Why are we trying to engage this particular person? Why are they hard to engage/ difficult? What is the message in not engaging? What does it do to us if we struggle to engage someone? Through a mixture of practical and creative exercises, discussion and presentation this course will explore a variety of approaches which help.
