Workshop description:

Child-Parent Psychotherapy (CPP) requires a great deal from any clinician, whether they have experience or not. Supervising clinicians doing CPP requires the supervisor to hold the clinician’s reactions to and perceptions of the family, monitor the clinician’s work to ensure that they are maintaining fidelity to the CPP model, teach skills, and support the clinician to reflect on and be intentional about their work. The CPP model is complex and it can take more than 18 months of learning to ‘begin’ to feel integrated in the model. This reality requires that supervisors do more than ‘just reflect’ on cases and are called to teach. Case example and live supervision with be used in this training to highlight the following workshop objectives:
• Workshop participants will learn ways to think about when to teach and when to reflect with clinicians.
• Workshop participants will learn ways to give feedback to clinicians in supervision.
• Workshop participants will learn ways to form relationships with clinicians.
• Workshop participants will learn ways to manage times when they don’t have ‘grist’ to offer clinicians.

The terms vicarious or secondary trauma have been known in mental health professions since the ’80s. Both terms describe a common phenomenon among counselors working with trauma survivors experiencing traumatic symptoms resulted from hearing their patients’ trauma stories. Vicarious trauma among legal professionals did not receive the same attention despite its prevalence, leaving lawyers and judges without the relevant knowledge and suitable coping strategies. Our upcoming talk with Dr. Inbar Cohen will shed a light on vicarious trauma among legal professionals and focus on common signs and symptoms as well as coping skills and strategies.

Inbar Cohen, PhD

Dr. Inbar Cohen is a teaching associate at the University of Haifa School of Criminology and is the head of the Sociolegal Clinic at the College of Management school of law. Dr. Cohen is a social worker and received her PhD in Criminology from the University of Haifa. Her main scholarship concerns are therapeutic jurisprudence, critical criminology, and critical discourse analysis. Her research field includes the interchange between legal and therapeutic discourses pertaining to the effect of therapeutic principles on legal proceedings and vice versa, the effect of punitive goals on court mandated therapeutic interventions. Dr. Cohen has vast experience in related fieldwork as the Sexual Assault Crisis Center former head of the Witness Assistance Program for ten years until 2013 and as a social worker with youth-at-risk from 1996 until 2004.
