Clara E. Hill, PhD, instructor

This day-long program will first provide a rationale for going beyond helping skills once trainees have gained some mastery of these skills. Dr. Hill will then provide an overview of her humanistic, experiential, interpersonal, and psychodynamic model of psychotherapy, focusing on three aspects of the model in depth: helping clients work through relationship issues, processing the therapeutic relationship, and working with dreams. For each component, Dr. Hill will provide a theoretical overview, clinical examples, and an experiential exercise.
