A workshop for licensed psychologists and psychotherapists

Thursday-Saturday, October 13-15, 2016 Uppsala, Sweden

Working with Shame in Psychological Assessment and Psychotherapy

! Presenters: Stephen E. Finn & Lena Lillieroth

It is now recognized that shame is one of the most important and frequent client experiences in psychotherapy and psychological assessment, yet few clinicians receive direct training in how to help their clients with shame. Learning to handle shame is important in that unaddressed shame can impede progress in psychotherapy and lead to constricted and invalid test responses. In this 3-day intensive workshop, Dr. Finn will lecture about contemporary research and theory about shame and discuss implications for applied clinical work. He will show videotapes--of himself and other clinicians from the Therapeutic Assessment Institute--working with clients around shame, and he will teach 3 empirically-based effective interventions that can be used with any psychotherapy method and that can help clients heal shame. At various points during the workshop, participants will work in small groups doing role plays of these shame interventions. Finally, Dr. Finn will discuss shame in clinicians, and how it both limits our effectiveness and gives us empathy for our clients.
