How can we use the combination of philosophy and psychotherapy to enhance our therapeutic wisdom?

Philosophy offers a rich understanding of the role of emotions in responding to mental health challenges. Moods such as anxiety, perplexity, despair, confusion, curiosity and wonder are triggers for philosophical reflection and psychotherapy. Philosophical reflection adds to the modules, skills, wisdom and attunement of psychotherapeutic approaches. It provides frameworks for enabling clients to turn moods into opportunities to see, do and be in the world in much more fulfilling ways. Each philosopher provides a process for working with healing and transformation. For example, Socratic questioning is a process of dealing with perplexity. Martin Heidegger shows how phenomenology and hermeneutics provide processes for working with questions of meaning, anxiety and the point of existence.

This workshop will provide psychologists and psychotherapists with an additional set of frameworks and skills to work effectively with disruptive moods that clients bring into therapy.
