Case Conceptualizations & Role Plays/ Cas conceptualisations et jeux de rôle 6:00-7:30pm

In addition to the fantastic workshops available at the ACBS ACT Training Institute in Brussels, we will also be offering some unique training opportunities during the evening. On Friday, 3 October from 6:00-7:30 all Institute participants will have to opportunity to attend small group case consultations with some of the workshop presenters, including case consultations offered in both English and French. This is a fantastic opportunity to get expert consultation on your own cases from some of the leading ACT trainers.

Alternatively, attendees can choose to see some of the other trainers “in action”, doing live role plays. These role plays will give folks the opportunity to see more extended clinical demonstrations of how many of the ACT processes and strategies they will be learning about during their workshops might look when woven into a therapy session. Because more than one trainer will be doing the role plays, it is also a great chance to see different the flexibility of ACT and how it can be utilized with various therapists’ styles.

En plus des ateliers fantastiques disponibles à l'Institut de formation ACT ACBS à Bruxelles , nous offrirons également des possibilités uniques de formation au cours de la soirée. Le vendredi 3 Octobre à partir de 6:00-7:30 participants au colloque devront occasion d'assister à cas conceptualisations avec quelques-uns des animateurs d'ateliers, y compris les consultations de cas offerts en anglais et en français. C'est une occasion fantastique pour obtenir une consultation d'experts sur vos propres cas de certains des plus grands entraîneurs de l'ACT.

Alternativement, les participants peuvent choisir de voir quelques-uns des autres formateurs "en action", faire des jeux de rôle. Ces jeux de rôle seront donner aux gens l'occasion de voir des démonstrations cliniques plus étendues de la façon dont la plupart des processus et des stratégies ACT qu'ils vont apprendre à propos lors de leurs ateliers pourraient regarder quand tissé dans une séance de thérapie. Parce que plus d'un formateur fera les jeux de rôle, c'est aussi une grande chance de voir différente de la flexibilité de l'ACT et comment il peut être utilisé avec tous les styles différents thérapeutes.
