Aim
The aim of the workshop is to strengthen understanding and develop skills in the above areas within the framework of AIA’s Multilevel and Multifocal Systemic Approach.
This workshop offers a comprehensive framework for sensitization to therapeutic work with children and adolescents, based on Systemic Theory, broadening participants’ understanding of how children and families function as systems and are influenced by both external and internal interactions. All of the above are approached using contemporary research findings in neuroscience and developmental psychology.
Methodology
- Λήψη και αξιολόγηση πληροφοριών από την συνάντηση με την οικογένεια, τους γονείς και το παιδί, όσον αφορά την λειτουργικότητα και στοιχεία δυσλειτουργίας.
- Systemic understanding of development: The developmental stages of the child and the family will be explored, with emphasis on the ways in which relationships and interactions influence the psychological and emotional condition of children.
- Intervention planning and goal setting: Development of targeted and structured intervention plans that integrate an understanding of developmental stages and the specific needs of the child and family.
- Individual psychotherapeutic intervention practices focused on the needs of the child or adolescent within the family context.
- Use of therapeutic tools such as drawing, doll-houses, and board games to facilitate the expression and exploration of clients’ emotions and thoughts.
- Parent counselling: A holistic approach to working with parents, helping them understand their own positions within the family system, as well as the contribution of family relationships to the development and management of symptoms in its members. Parents are supported in restructuring and strengthening their relationship with the child through active listening, empathy, and constructive feedback.
- Group parent counseling. Community education on issues related to the development of parenting.
- Sensitisation to the exploration of family functioning and the recognition of intergenerational dynamics that influence the functioning of family members.
