Chapter 5: Brief Strategic/interactional Therapies from Brief Interventions and Brief Therapies for Substance Abuse

This is a classic course. CE-Credit.com retains a small number of "Classic Courses". These courses are based on materials that have an older publication date, but that retain enduring learning value and relevance today. We can recommend this course as valuable, but if you are looking for more recent material you might wish to choose a different one.

About the Course:

Strategic/interactional therapies attempt to identify the client’s strengths and actively create personal and environmental situations where success can be achieved. In these therapies, the focus is on the individual’s strengths rather than on pathology, the relationship to the therapist is essential, and
interventions are based on client self determination with the community serving as a resource rather than an obstacle. This course describes the dynamics of strategic/interactional therapies

This course is based on the reading-based online, Chapter 5: Brief Strategic/interactional Therapies from Brief Interventions and Brief Therapies for Substance Abuse created by Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) in 2012.
