If there’s one thing Pittman can’t stand, it’s a therapeutic approach that enhances a client’s sense of being a victim. Empowerment Therapy is a character-building experience in which therapists tell clients that they are responsible for what they do--no matter how they feel, no matter what’s happened to them. If you’re reaching your limit with clients who aren’t making the changes they claim to want to make, spend a little time with Frank Pittman in this video: his no-nonsense approach to change may be just the inspiration you and your clients need.
By watching this video, you will:
• Learn how to develop a therapeutic relationship with clients that empowers them to make the changes they want in their lives.
• Develop an understanding of how to negotiate a family’s resistance to change.
• Discover how to help parents make responsible decisions that are in their family’s long-term best interest.
