Course Description
Discover strategies for managing three of the most common and difficult emotions in occupational therapy practice—pain, fear, and avoidance. Using six distinct modes of interacting that are based on the conceptual practice model recently developed by Dr. Taylor, you will learn how to best manage these emotions and behaviors so that treatment goals can be accomplished. The model is particularly useful when therapists are having difficulty engaging clients or sustaining active participation in therapy. It is designed for practitioners and supervisors at all experience levels to identify and build upon existing interpersonal strengths and develop new skills to enhance their work.
