About Case Analysis Labs
As a couple therapist, you may experience times when you feel your clinical work is at an impasse and that you could benefit from outside consultation.
When you feel stuck, Case Analysis Labs help you develop a coherent plan to focus treatment interventions, which in turn help couples move forward. You’ll learn effective ways of framing or reframing clients’ issues and how to apply specific PACT techniques to gain clinical traction and achieve better outcomes.
These small groups allow for deeper, more focused learning and opportunities to participate and receive feedback. Learn how to deal with specific and complex issues in these labs that go beyond what can be covered in training.
In Case Analysis Labs, you’ll also address issues that might come up in working with a client — or a type of client — and you’ll have opportunities to talk with colleagues who understand the complicated role you play as a therapist.
Whether you need some support or a whole new strategy to consider, you’ll come away with a fresh perspective.
