  Advanced Workshop: Neuroscience of Gestalt therapy with children/adolescents.
  Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

This week-end series will provide participants with an in-depth experience with Gestalt Play Therapy. This program is cumulative, providing maximum benefit to those who attend all workshops. Each week-end will include didactic discussion, experiential work, and opportunities for case presentation. Participants are asked to read Violet Oaklander’s books, Windows To Our Children and Hidden Treasure available on Amazon.com. Readings will also be provided on the topic of each week-end.

The Summer Training provides an opportunity for participants to enjoy a summer vacation combined with an intensive learning experience. Each day of the workshop will have didactic discussion, experiential practicum with feedback, and case presentations. Video of sessions with children and power point assisted slides will illustrate work with children. If possible, demonstrations with children may be used.

Emphasis in this training is on learning concepts and skills that will enhance the therapeutic practice of those working with children/adolescents and not on the personal development of participants. However, participants will find the practicums and demonstrations to be personally and professionally rewarding. Participants are asked to read Dr. Oaklander’s books, Windows to Our Children and Hidden Treasure available through Amazon.com. Other readings will be made available to those attending the training(s).
