• Seasoned practitioners know that when the therapeutic process becomes too cautious and mechanical, drained of risk and creativity, clinical effectiveness suffers.

• But how do we avoid being paralyzed by our clients' chronic difficulties and resistant clients?

• How can we step outside the box and bring more of our creative and playful selves to our work?

• This workshop will present several guidelines for developing a creative partnership with clients that taps both therapist and client inventiveness.
