- Understand the basics of the ground breaking Open Dialogue model and explore how it is shifting the paradigm of how we view and treat acute mental health crises in psychiatric settings
- Learn about the latest research and growing evidence base which illustrates the benefits of the Open Dialogue approach
- Hear about the roles that presence, therapeutic relational attunement, mindfulness and compassion play in Open Dialogue facilitation
This was a fascinating talk! To see family and person centered care operationalised in this way made a lot of sense. Ravi Chandra’s questions were really wonderful and brought out the big picture as well and the nuances of the model. Many thanks!
love the idea of the patient leading the session. Asking them what lead you to book the appointment, and allowing them space to speak rather than the approach of tick boxing symptoms is so important. Thank you both so much for sharing your lovely energy
A wonderful training. I came with the idea of learning/growing as an individual clinician with individual clients, but have been really impressed with the expanse of clinical work in a huge variety of settings (e.g. Open Dialogue, Indigenous contributions to therapeutic services, inputs on working with minority/diverse clients in urban settings etc.). What I find most helpful is when the speaker can interact in a Therapist-Client role-play with the host (with the therapist demonstrating one/some of the principles of what she/he is presenting); a role play which could be without scripting/rehearsal or one that is scripted and rehearsed. Would like to see more of that. My salute to all who put this together as well as the clinicians, researchers, and administrators who collaborating in assembling this forum!
I love this talk–re-connecting with community is a treatment process in itself.
This is so encouraging to find the Peer Model is finally reaching the clinical sphere. Now my hope is that academia will offer these type of studies rather than the traditional DSM-diagnoses-medication only. Thank you for sharing your vision and hope of moving forward.
Thank you
