This is not an endorsement. Emerging Trends in Ecotherapy Ecotherapy expands the scope of traditional counseling/therapy beyond personal relationships and community systems to recognize the important role one's relationship with the natural world plays in our health, emotions, and identity across the lifespan. Ecotherapy also provides ways for counselors and healthcare providers to utilize nature contacts and connections to promote physical and mental health. This experiential workshop provides an orientation to the historical background and theoretical approaches associated with ecotherapy. Participants will learn applications of ecotherapy in counseling and healthcare settings and opportunities for integrating ecotherapy practices into their personal and professional lives. We will also survey psychological research regarding human-nature relationships, and conservation behaviors that point to the efficacy of ecotherapy interventions. Date: Friday, April 19, 2013 Time: 9 a.m.-4 p.m. Instructor: Patricia Hasbach, Ph.D. Noncredit/CEU: 6 hours, $125 by April 5, $150 after. $40 for students.

Therapists and therapy are often portrayed in American and foreign films with varying degrees of accuracy. Nevertheless, real therapists and other helping professionals can learn a great deal about themselves from "reel" therapists. We will watch entertaining and provocative film clips about ethical and professional issues, followed by a lively discussion about the insights and reactions raised by the clips. Issues discussed will include: contrasting boundary violations and crossings (focusing on self-disclosure, touch, and dual relationships), establishing the therapeutic relationship, termination, and professional wills.
