Description of Program

In this intermediate level workshop, Dr. Barish will offer an integrative model of therapeutic change in child and adolescent psychotherapy, based on a contemporary understanding of children’s emotions and emotional needs. He will identify 10 principles that organize our therapeutic efforts and discuss several core problems of clinical work with children: How can we engage more children in treatment? How do children learn to regulate their emotions? How can we combat a child’s discouragement and self-doubt?

Effective therapies for children and adolescents arrest malignant emotional processes, especially vicious cycles of painful emotions and pathogenic family interactions. Our most successful interventions then set in motion positive cycles of healthy emotional and interpersonal experiences – increased confidence and engagement in life and more affirming interactions between parents and children.

Presenter

Kenneth Barish, PhD, is on the faculty of the Westchester Center for the Study of Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy and the William Alanson White Institute Child and Adolescent Psychotherapy Training Program. He is also Clinical Professor of Psychology at Weill Medical College, Cornell University and Visiting Professor, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, in Wuhan, China.

Dr. Barish is the author of How To Be A Better Child Therapist: An Integrative Model for Therapeutic Change (W. W. Norton, 2018) and Pride and Joy: A Guide to Understanding Your Child’s Emotions and Solving Family Problems (Oxford University Press, 2012). Pride and Joy is winner of the 2013 International Book Award and the 2013 Eric Hoffer Book Award.
